Some singers drop out, but many are still singing the first of August, and not a few a week or two later. August 10, 1897, I. Field Sparrow. (Beal.—Farmers' Bulletin, U. United States Department of Agriculture, p. 27.) heard several singing as well as they did in April. September 14, I found one trying his best to sound the notes, but his effort was very imperfect. I have observed them mating as early as March 20 (1897). They are usually found nesting in May, June and sometimes July. Earliest nests noted at Brookville, May 7, 1883, May 11, 1881. Two or three broods are reared. August 28, 1896, I found a nest and eggs near Brookville. I have referred to their food habits under the last spe- cies. Prof. F. H. King, in addition, notes that 7 he examined ate a caterpillar, 2 grasshoppers, a heteropterous insect, a harvestman, a spider; 4 had eaten small weed seeds (Geol. of Wis., I., p. 539)..
