The habitat was a coastal fen, consisting of small tamaracks near a wet area, and was at a clearing near an airstrip. The nest was on the ground at the base of Labrador tea and a small tamarack. The nest exterior and lining were both composed of dried grasses. It was cup-shaped, and had an outside diameter of cm (3 inches) and an inside depth of cm ( inches). The nest contained 4 eggs when found. Breeding Distribution In view of the regular breeding of Harris' Sparrow (Fig. 150B) at Churchill, Manitoba, the recent discovery of its nesting in Ontario's treeline region (Fig. 149) was not completely unexpected. It probably breeds from the Manitoba border east at least to Fort Severn, and relatively close to the Hudson Bay 241.
