. Bird portraits . mmer than others.The Song Sparrows little strain may be heard well into August;but toward the end of that month we hear from the cornfields andgardens a curious, husky warble, unlike the bright spring carol ofthe Song Sparrow, but nevertheless made by that bird. In the fall, and even during the winter, a warm bright day will occasionallyinduce a Song Sparrow to sing his lively spring song, so thatwhere the Song Sparrow winters, the strain may be heard everymonth of the year. In the late summer and fall, the neglected corners of gardensand fields, where the seeds of weeds and grasses offer an abundanceof food, are the favorite resort of the sparrows. The Song Sparrowmay be distinguished from most of its relatives by its streakedbreast, in the middle of which the spots generally form a conspicuousblotch, and by its long tail, which it constantly jerks as it flies.The Song Sparrow is very retiring, and when alarmed, slips intobrush heaps or bushes, where it hides as skillfully as a mouse.. THE FLICKER THE FLICKER The Flicker is most beloved in March, when his hearty shoutis one of the characteristic sounds of the first warm days of earlyspring. The same week which brings the Bluebird and the Black-bird hears the cheerful song of the Song Sparrow and the loudcall of the Flicker. Though a woodpecker, the Flicker has departed somewhat fromthe habits of its relatives, spending considerable time on the ground, and depending largely for its food on berries and ants. It is oftenstartled from lawns and hillsides, where it has been thrusting itslong tongue into colonies of black ants, seizing them on the moist, brushy tip. When so engaged, the bird may sometimes be closelyapproached, and a sight of its plumage is then a revelation to onewho has seen from a distance only its dark brown body and whiterump. The ashy gray nape sets off a bright red patch; there isa handsome black crescent across the breast, and the male wearsblack mustaches. The breast is handsomely
