241, Ammodramns sandwfrJiensis satmnna 



Savanna Sparrow. (Wils.), 



Breeding Range — Northern Middle States to Labrador and Hudson 



Bay. 

 Winter Distribution — Southern New Jersey, throughout the S. Atlantic 

 and Gulf States. 



Common transient visitant especially along the coast and rivers. 

 Occurs most abundantly in the vicinity of Philadelphia, Marcli 20 

 to May 15, and September 1 to October 20; stragglers, however, 

 are found during February and early in March. 



At Cape May and probably all along the coast of southern New 

 Jersey, the Savanna Sparrow is an abundant winter resident. 



In the northern counties of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as 

 well as along the Alleghanies, this species probably breeds regularly ; 

 it has been reported in summer at Cresson [Dioight — Auk, 1892), 

 in Clinton county ( Warren's Report), Bedford Springs {Rhoads), 

 and at East Bethlehem {Detwiler). 



One specimen was secured by Mr. F. D. Stone, Jr., at Cape May, 

 N. J., July 6, 1891, but it was probably a belated straggler, as no 

 other birds were found and this one did not seem to have been 

 breeding.

Grasshopper Sparrow. (Wils.).

Summer resident ; common in dry uplands, but somewhat locally 

 or irregularly distrihuted during the breeding season. Arrives in 

 the vicinity of Philadelpliia, May 1, and departs about October 20.
