THE IPSWICH SPARROW IN ITS SUMMER HOME. 



BY W. E. SAUNDERS. 



Owing to a happy combination of circumstances I had the 

 pleasure of visiting Sable Island recently, arriving on May 16, 

 1901, and leaving on the 23d. Ever since reading Dr. Dwight's 

 delightful monograph of the Ipswich Sparrow I have longed to 

 visit this bird at home but with little hope that my desire would 

 ever be realized, and it was therefore an unexpected delight when 

 a feasible opportunity occurred. It will be remembered that not 

 only is Sable Island the only breeding ground of this Sparrow, 

 but also that the Sparrow is the only land bird which breeds there,
