Savannah Sparrow breeds commonly 
^ throughout Western New York. I saw 
many sets in Ward’s Museum at Rochester, 
2 N. Y., taken in Monroe County, and I take 
t“* a few sets here each year, though the nests 
'a are hard to find. They arrive the latter 
part of April (25th, 1881, 20th, 1882,) and 
^ depart about the middle of September, 
W (Sept. 19, 1882.) In abundance they rank 
? sixth among the Sparrows here, viz. : 
? Grass Finch, Hair, Song, House, Swamp, 
and Savannah Sparrows . — John M. Jlowey,

5. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. Savanna Sparrow. This 
bird, I, think, may now be included among the winter residents on Long 
Island. I have taken specimens at Far Rockaway during November and 
December, and one (male) January i, 1884. Mr. Win. Dutcher secured 
two specimens at the same place on February 23, 1885.

Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna. — The Savanna Sparrow has 
been found on Long Island in summer, but not so far west I believe as 
the following record. At Garden City 17th July, 1897, an adult male in 
worn breeding plumage was found in a locality where many Grasshopper 
Sparrows Were resident. Mr. Oberholser considers this an interesting 
discovery and- at his suggestion it is made a matter of record. Mr. 
Wm. Dutcher has recorded this species from Long Island in summer. 
It is also a winter bird on Long Island. The writer met with a specimen 
Jan. 30, 1895, at Flatbush, L. I. Auk, XVI, April, 1899 , Qf-Co-Z.
