Harris’s Sparrow in Eastern Ontario. — It gives me pleasure to record 
the capture of the first specimen of Harris’s Sparrow ( Zonotrichia querula) 
for eastern Ontario. The bird was taken from a mixed flock of Song 
Sparrows and Juncos which were feeding in a garden on the outskirts of 
London, Ont., about eight a. m., March 18, 1907. 
My attention was attracted by a single long drawn note of the same 
pitch and quality as that of the White-throated Sparrow and on searching 
through the flock I found this large dark-colored bird which was very soon 
secured. It is a male in immature plumage spotted irregularly on the 
upper breast giving a hint of the black coloration which was to come. The 
specimen is now number 1797 in my collection. 
This species has occurred in Ohio and a number of times in Michigan but 
has not previously been captured in lower Ontario although it is probable 
that it is a regular migrant through the northwestern corner of the province.
