song of late several times and it
is very sweet but weak. It
consists of a series of four or five
notes of about the same pitch or
perhaps a little ascending then
a single high note followed by
a low one. This is repeated
over and over.
This is their only song so far as I
can learn. The only other note
that I am acquainted with is the
little chip which is usually
uttered as a surprise note I think.
The Wn. Savanna Sparrow has
been seen to perch upon a straw-
stack, a fence and other elevated
places. The Titlark has been
seen to perch also. These birds
are frequently seen in each others
company.
April-11-1896. Saw a large flock of Cal.
Gulls today following the slow
and I paid considerable attention
to them. I noticed for the first
time I have not been close to them
