Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. 1907 Passerculus savanna Lakeside July 24 copy 3 N. H. a Savanna Sparrow, now Lakeside Hotel perched in a bush by the roadside & cruelly screeching about young which must have been concealed in the grass field beyond the fence, called tsiyk, tsiyk, constantly as long as I remained. This note was very like that of a junco. July 25. About noon evidently the same bird for it was perched on the same bush did not once give the thick note ta-day but instead called tit, tit, ti-ti or tit, tit-ti-ti or tit, ti-ti-ti. This chirping bore some resemblance to that of a Cliffsping (S. socialis) but was sharper & more trilling. Another bird in the Saratoga Clinging This evening used the same tit or ti-ti calls. It was at first in a bush on the call. It was at first on a rock near by. and afterwards more many birds there It seemed very unlike any of these the bird as described. 1907 Passerculus savanna C. Umbagog July copy 4 Savanna Sparrows are very common and generally distributed throughout the hillside pastures & grass-fields in Upper Canada's Cape. In flowers they breed and Conant's Cape. In winter are probably very commonly in other areas particularly in some colonies. This is the case in the winters on the Outer Shore, or upon the outskirts of the latter, within 10 or 15 miles of Boston, one may often glean of a few acres or a dozen birds as many as two or a dozen birds on bare summer weeds hanging out on fence. They sing very late into the evening and any early in the morning as well as during cold rainy weather when most other birds are silent. The songs of the birds found about the Cape seem to me less abrupt and more musical and forced strident which seems on the Sea Coast. than those which occur here, however, they are very insect-like, however, and coming as they often do from the grass are strongly suggestive of. concealed, crickets mixed with the chirping of grasshoppers. 91
