Melospiza neorniana . 
Concord, 
1899. 
May 7. 
May 8. 
Mass. Singing at night. 
A Swamp Sparrow was also sing steadily opposite the 
cabin when I landed (8.45 P.M. ). 
Singing at night. 
I passed a restless night and whenever I was awake the 
Swamp Sparrow that I heard when I landed at Ball's Hill last 
evening, and afterwards (from 5 to 10 P.M.) as I sat writing 
in the cabin, was singing at short ♦ regular intervals. I be- 
lieve that he sang through the entire night, which was clear 
and starlit but nevertheless rather dark. The only other 
Sparrow which I have ever heard sing steadily, regularly and 
frequently at night is the Henslow's.
