Altbough reaching high latitudes, such as that of the Yukon, this 

 little species, unlike most of its allies, breeds with equal readiness 

 almost throughout the country, and is one of the best known and most 

 abundant of its tribe. It nests in a field or orchard, generally near 

 water, laying four creamy or clay-colored eggs, blotched with blackish- 

 brown and neutral tint. From the Southern States, where it spends the 

 winter, as it also does much further south, it reaches the Middle dis- 

 tricts about the 15th of April, and is found along the streams and ponds 

 of the interior, as well as on the coast, ilany stop to breed all along 

 the line of migration, while others pass on at least to Labrador. Eggs 

 may be found all through June and July, according to latitude, and 

 perhaps in some cases more than one brood may be raised. 



According to Mr. Trippe, in the mountains of Colorado this is the 

 only species of its family that is abundant throughout the summer. It 

 arrives at Idaho Springs early in May, leaving in September. It pushes 

 up all the larger streams to an altitude of 8,000 or 9,000 feet, and even, 

 occasionally, to the shores of the lakes near the timber-line.
