The Back pP\V. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The sparrows of which there are a dozen or more common species, constitute a rather difficult bird puzzle, especially to the novice. Three of the more common species, namely the tree, held and chipping sparrows, resemble each other even more than some of the others and are a bird puzzle within the larger bird puzzle. These three birdskas H. K. Job remarks, “a good\deal alike, long-tailed little fellows with brownish-red crowns.” How then may we know whether a given sparrow is a tleld sparrow or a tree or chipping sparrow? In the first place, the tree sparrow is the largest of the three, being a lit- tle over six inches long, while the others are about an inch shorter. The chipping sparrow is slightly smaller than the field sparrow. The tree sparrow has a round dark spot on its breast. This is its field mark. Furthermore, it has conspicuous, light wing bars. It is also known as the winter chippy because it is a more northern bird than the others, and like the. Chippy. has a “chip" call or alarm note. Broadly speaking, here in Canada, We have. the tree sparrow with us when the tleld and chipping sparrows are. wintering to the south, and the tield and chipping sparrows with us when the tree sparrow is far to the north in his summer home. The tree sparrow is with us during.r the late fall, winter and early spring. and the other two species with us durim: the late spring. summer and early fall. It is only during: parts of the fall and spring.' that the ranges of the three hirds somewhat ever- lap. Hence, the time of year should he considered when one is trying to identify one of these sparrows. 'l‘he chipping sparrow. in addition to heing the smallest. of the three birds. hasaratherconspicuous light line over each eye, a lilack forehead and a plain light, vest. or hreast. in fact it has the lightest breast of the three. The field sparrow has a pink or flesh-colored hill. which is its tield mark, It. then. your bird has a round dark spot. at. the middle of the breast. it. is a tree sparrow; if it has a pink hill. it is a tield Sparrow. and if it has a light. line over each eye and a plain light. Vest. the chances are that it is a chippitn: sparrow. A .I .I I. The songs «If the thrIIII birds anI IIIItirIIly ditTIIrIInt. making tIIIIiII iâ€" dIIntitiratinn «IasiIIr. To my way of thinking.
