Most common in early spring when large companies visit us on their way north. They then attract us by their song, which is a loud, sustained, plaintive whistle. Very commonly we may notice only one prolonged note; but they often add two short ones in an undertone making Peabody, whence one of their names. In fall, numbers of them come again but not to sing so much. The head has two black and three white stripes, two of the latter changing to yellow in front; throat white, contrasting sharply with the gray breast; two white wing bars. Common M. and occasional 559 Tree Sparrow. Length 65 inches. These are birds of prairie and field and their name does not seem appropriate. They come in flocks, often associated with Juncos. The.
