[This species is resident with us, but is by no means 
common. It is generally to be met with in the scrubby 
growth along the banks of the small streams flowing 
through the open camps, where there is an abundance of 
small seeding plants. It must nest in the matted tufts of 
grass, as it is always to be found in the open, but I have 
never met with the nest.— W. F.~\
