 visited the food boxes regularly for seeds. 



82. Spi^clla pusilla piisilla (Wilson). Field Sparrow. — A

 rivers and streams, where they fed close to the water's edge. 



85. Melospisa lincolni lincolni (x'Vud.). Lincoln's Sparrow. 

 — Rare. A single specimen was heard singing in a small bog at

 first summer record for this sparrow in Michigan.
