104 BIRDS OF THE PUBLIC GARDEN 



April 23, 1903; April 19, 1904; and April 

 10, 1905. The fourth occasion was the pre- 

 sence of two birds on April 26, 1907. 



On April 22, 1907, four birds were seen 

 on the Common on the west slope of Monu- 

 ment Hill. This slope has proved to be a 

 favorite feeding-place of all of the more 

 common species of sparrows, and I surmise 

 that a scanning of this ground in the earlier 

 years of my observation, 1900-1905, would 

 have revealed more instances of the pre- 

 sence of this species there. It is rather to be 

 sought there or on the level of the parade 

 ground below the hill, than in the Garden. 

 The other records of the Common are a 

 bird in song on April 8, 1906, and a bird 

 on April 7, 23, and 26 successively in 1908. 



I have no record showing that a bird of 

 this species has remained over the next 

 day.
