OF ILLINOIS BIRDS 



Regular T. V. Cannot be 

 classed as extremely com-

 fairly numerous. Ridgway 

 gives it as a W. R., some- 

 times in large numbers, in 

 Southern Illinois. 



White-throated Sparrow. 

 T.V. 



Probably nests sparingly 

 in the northern counties ot 

 the state. Abundant T. V., 

 spring and fall, and com- 

 mon to abundant winter 

 resident in C. and S. 111. 



Tree Sparrow. W.V. 



Common winter visitant to 

 all sections of state.

C.S. 



Quite common, but far less 



plentiful than formerly in 



N. E. 111. 

 Clay-colored Sparrow. S. 

 R., N. 



Classified as S. R. in N. 111.

Common in all parts of 



state. Common W. R. in 



S. 111.

 the west. Met with by 

 Coale and Praeger in Lake
