. Vögel und Natur . Chipping Sperling, aber mehr Musik und in einem höheren Schlüssel. Für Dr. Wheatonits Refrain ist ein lautes, emphatisches und rathermonotones Lied, das, so nahe er es beschreiben kann, den Silben, Chicky-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick ähnelt; dieses Lied war louderund entschiedener betont als daseines Mitglieds der Gattung, mit der er vertraut war. Colonel Goss erkrankte das Lied ein paar süße Triller, die temperamentvoll und abrupt in einer aufsteigenden Tonleiter enden.

. Birds and nature . chipping sparrow, but more musicaland in a higher key. To Dr. Wheatonits refrain is a loud, emphatic and rathermonotonous song, resembling, as nearlyas he can describe, the syllables, chicky-tick-tick-tick-tick; this song was louderand more decidedly emphasized than thatof any member of the genus with whichhe was acquainted.

Its nest is usually built on the groundin clumps of bushes and quite hidden bydried leaves. The nest is large for thesize of the bird, and is constructed withplant stems, strips of fibrous bark anddry grasses loosely woven together. Notinfrequently also leaves are used in theconstruction of this outer wall.
