Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna. Savanna Sparrow. — It is 
probably the most abundant bird on the island, and is found everywhere 
except in woods. On sand beaches, marshes, or dry fields its weak song 
was constantly to be heard, and in certain pastures it seemed as if every 
third fence post were occupied by a singer. As an illustration that flying 
is a matter of practice on the part of young birds, I instance a young 
Savanna Sparrow that I flushed one windy day in a pasture where the 
grass was very short. The wind upset all his calculations and himself as 
well, apparently getting under his wings and turning him upside down 
every time he started on a fresh flight. He would get along pretty well 
foi a tod or so and then a puff would send him bowling over the sod till 
he reached a point of fright and exhaustion that left him panting just 
where he happened to roll.
