E.M. Brock 1958 June 29 Savannah Sparrow Atkasuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska Upon taking a walk through the willows along the bank of the river near the village, I noticed, upon closer examination that the savannah sparrows are actually quite common in the willow bushes. Two individuals were collected and prepared as study skins. July 1 Most of the savannah sparrows had been seen only along the river in the willows. Several were noticed today in willows, far from the river proper. Whenever savannah sparrows are found the red polls are also seen. The two birds seem to occupy very closely the same habitat.
