Chapman considers this bird's song the most beautiful of all our Sparrows. It is very simple chee-e-e-e-de, de, de, chee-e chee-o, chee-o-chee-o but possesses the exquisite tenderness and pathos of the Hermit Thrush's melody. In purity of tone and execution the Sparrow is superior.
The nest is cylindrical, 6 or 8 inches long, roofed and built entirely of fine grass.
Pine belt of southern Georgia and northern Florida.
