74. Zoiwtrichia albicoUis. White-throated Sparrow. — 

 This species nested commonly in the edge of the hardwoods 

 and bogs. In 191 5, the first young appeared on July 17. 



75. Spizella passerina passerina. Chipping Sparrow. — 

 Common in the aspens and hardwoods, and in the cultivated 

 areas about dwellings. A nest was found on July 4, 191 1. 



76. Spicella pusilla pusilla. Field Sparrow. — Probably a 

 rare breeder in the region. In 19 15. it was observed only once, 

 July 22, near INIaple River. 



//. Junco liyetnalis hyeiiialis. Slate-colored Junco. — 

 Common among the aspens. A nest containing three incubated

78. Melospi'-^a mclodia niclodia. Song Sparrow. — Com- 

 mon about the marshes near water. A nest with four eggs 

 was found on August 2, 191 1. The eggs hatched on August 6

79. Melospiza lincolni I'uicolui. Lincoln's Sparrow. — 

 Given by Compton as "young, rare, hardwoods". This is prob-

 known to breed in ^Michigan, and the earliest fall record known 

 for the species is September 6.

 is occasionally seen around dwellings but is not common.
