Mr. E. W. Nelson reported (1876) Harris's Sparrow to be 

 a very fare visitant to our vicinity. Mr. James O. Dunn says* 

 that he took a specimen east of Riverdale, Illinois, which he ob- 

 served in a growth of small willows. Mr. Ruthven Deane in-

 feeding with a flock of sparrows in the south end of Lincoln 

 Park.
