Pine Siskin. Spinus pinus (Wilson), 
None were found, but the species is listed by Blackwelder: 
“The Siskins may be seen in small bands in the latter part of 
the summer, and are especially characteristic of cedar swamps 
English Sparrow. Passer domesticus (Linn). 
Common, but confined very closely to the towns. Their chief 
pastime in this region seemed to be breeding, due perhaps to the 
late spring.and the early fall. 
Vesper Sparrow. Pooecetes gramineus gramineus (Gmelin). 
Found commonly along the paths and road-sides, and along 
the edges of the cultivated fields, but only in the vicinity of the 
towns. In full song all during August. 
White-crowned Sparrow. Zonotricliia leucopJirys leucophrys 
(J, R. Forster). 
Two individuals of this species were seen about Lake 16. They 
were feeding on the ground, in company with several white- 
throats. 
White-throated Sparrow. Zonotrichia albicollis (dmelin). 
Common, and, as pointed out by Blackwelder, the characteris¬ 
tic summer bird of the region. Found less commonly about the 
towns, it is much in evidence in the deep woods about the lakes 
in Iron county, where its song was heard many times a day. 
Found often about the Sphagnum bogs and in the blueberry 
marshes. Seldom seen except in flocks. 
Chipping Sparrow. Spizella passevina passerina (Bechstein). 
Seen and heard daily in the vicinity of Kenton, and for about 
a mile up the Kenton river, above the town. Apparently con¬ 
fined rather closely to the towns. 
Field Sparrow. Spizella pusilla pusilla (Wilson). 
Only three birds of this species were seen, and one heard, all 
about Kenton, in the open, cultivated fields. 
Slate-colored Junco. Junco hyemalis kyemalis (Linn). 
Seen frequently along the abandoned logging roads, and about 
the outskirts of the town. They were perfectly silent.
