	Baird's Sparrow
		Baird's Sparrow: This sparrow breeds from Saskatchewan and Manitoba south to Montana and Minnesota.
		Baird's Sparrow: Three to five white eggs, blotched and scrawled with dark brown, are laid in a cup of weed stems and grass, concealed in grass or weeds on the ground.
		Baird's Sparrow: Vesper and Song Sparrows are similar, but have rounder heads and longer tails and also lack the yellowish face.

	All About Birds
		Baird's Sparrow is partially nomadic, with breeding populations shifting dramatically among locations from year to year.
		Baird's Sparrow often eludes predators (and human watchers) by running on the ground, rather than flying away.
		Baird's Sparrow does not inhabit prairie lands where fire suppression and changes in natural grazing patterns have allowed woody vegetation to grow excessively.

	EXTINCTION OF OUR BIRDS
		Verily, they are doomed, from the plebian Sparrow to the graceful Swan.
		Many of the present embryotic Ornithologists believe that in order to become Audubons or Bairds, they must slaughter indiscriminately every species met, and every nest must be robbed, under the transparent veil of science.
		A prom- inent Ornithologist in our state asks, in speaking of shooting Herons for their plumes, whether it makes any real difference whether they are shot in the fall migrations, or in their colonies or heronries with nests of eggs or young.

		Tim and Sheila Baird spotted red-breasted nuthatches in their yard in Edgartown on Oct. 10 and a white-throated sparrow on Oct. 12.

	BirdForum - to many questions?
		It doesn't look boldly enough streaked on the underside to be a song or savannah sparrow, and the head shape and facial markings are wrong for savannah.
		It DOES,or rather it can do!I used to think that I'd never master even the commoner waders,now I would have a good idea of what to look for on most vagrant species.Keep at it,take notes on what you see,study the books and don't be afraid to ask others for their opinions.
		Learning to I.D. Peeps, Sparrows, Gulls, and the such is all very confusing, Ill just keep looking through these field guides and try to get the hang of the desert sparrows in Arizona for my trip there next summer.
