Breeds from the northern part of the United States northward. Call note, tsip; song, a sweet tinkle or jingle. Com- mon M. and occasional P. R. 581 Song Sparrow. Length 61 inches. Distinguished by an abundance of blackish streaks on the sides of the whitish under parts and a large l^Iotch in center of breast. Upper parts as in typical spar- rows but rather dark. Considered one of the sweetest singers of all our birds. Its refrain is short, the first part consisting of about three notes that might be written oleel, oleel, oleet, and these are followed by an untranslatable little warble. Most common in shrub- bery near the water, but it never has much Nest, on the ground or in bushes. Is with us and sings all summer. Com- mon Song Sparrow.
