1912. Sec 38. Indistinctly speckled. Went to Museum. to examine specimens. One Harris Sparrow in winter coloring is exactly like this bird. 1913 Feb.7. Have seen the same bird at intervals of about a week, whenever I have had time to look for him. Today he was down in the grass scratching. At other times he has been eating grain dropped from the work horses' grain bags. Workmen have gone away now. Feb. 11. Saw Harris Sparrow again. General coloring lighter than Intermediate, Flatbills or Goldenspots. Sides white - bill larger, deeper yellow. After last of flock to fly when alarmed and first to return.
