than the fox sparrow. This sparrow
is not a winter resident though &C.

LARGEST and most attractive member
of the sparrow family and ranks high
as a musician. Any bird lover who
has not heard this bird sing has
something to look forward to with
expectancy and delight. Dec. 1ss two
more welcome visitors arrived. one
was our familiar robin and the other
