little Savanna Sparrow is present at a given point in the State from a 

 week to a month in advance of the Yellow-winged Sparrow every year. 



A nest identified as belonging to a bird of this species by Prof. J. R. 

 Slonaker was found May 17, 1901. It was built in a depression in the 

 ground and was lined and partly arched over with dry grass. On May 22, 

 there were five eggs. June 3, they were hatched. June 7, the nest was 

 empty-but probably not as a result of the natural course of events. 



. In 1885 most of the individuals departed May 2. The Savanna Spar- 

 row was taken March 29, 1894, by E. M. Kindle in Brown County.
