BIRDS OF THE HUMBER DISTRICT. 

 \ 



occur in this species oftener than with any other of our 

 small birds. 



82. EMBERIZA SCHCENICLUS, Linnaeus. Black- 

 headed Bunting. 

 Provincial. Reed-Sparrow. 



A resident throughout the year, but rather locally 

 distributed. Very common in the Humber marshes 

 and those other localities in the district which are 

 suitable to its habits. Partly gregarious during the 

 winter months, when they resort to the stubbles, and 

 in severe weather the stack- and fold-yards; frequently, 

 too, along withthe Pied Wagtails and Pipits, haunting 

 the sheep-folds on the turnips. 



83. EMBERIZA CITRINELLA, Linnaeus. Yellow 



Bunting. 



Provincial. Yellow Yorling or Yoldring. 

 Generally distributed; probably partially migra- 

 tory. Small flocks in the autumn and winter, along 

 with other grain-eating birds, resort to the marsh 

 stubble-fields. Our familiar Yellow Bunting extends 

 far north, breeding even within the Arctic Circle. 



INSESSORES CONIROSTRES. FRINGILLIDJE. 



84. FRINGILLA CCELEBS, Linnaeus. Chaffinch. 

 Provincial. Pink. 

 Everywhere plentiful. Partially migratory ; large
