Upper parts extensively brown and black; breast and sides bright buff with fine black streaks. These flinches are quite abundant in the West, especial- ly during migrations, but are rather uncommon in the eastern states. Their habits are similar in some respects to both those of the Song Sparrow and of the Grass- hopper Sparrow. They are very lively at all times and in the mating season quite pugnacious. They sit for minutes at a time upon the top of a busn pouring forth their melody, and they have one of the most brilliant songs of any of the family. Song".—Loud, clear and gurgling, after the style of the house Wren; call, a metallic chirp. Nest.—Of grass, on the ground, in tufts of grass or under small shrubs; eggs pale greenish white, heavily marked with chestnut (.80 x .58). Range.—N. A., breeding from northern U. S. to Labrador and Alaska; winters in southern half of U. S. 108.
