TREE SPARROW 



March 15, 1894 

 (Elmhurst) 



MY first sight of this bird was as I was 

 walking along the village road one 

 windy morning. I knew him at once, he 

 was so like the chippy, only he seemed 

 warmer colored, and a little lighter. The 

 reddish cap was very marked. He is a 

 trim, aristocratic looking bird, much more 

 so than the chippy, I think. 



March i6 y 1894. Saw a large flock, 

 they sang a great deal, a very sweet song, 

 but somewhat thin, quite varied, something 

 of the goldfinch quality. They trill like a 

 canary. 



November 4. Saw spot on breast and 

 two white wing bars, very distinct.
