Description	This photograph is labeled Nest of Vesper Sparrow. Appearing in the July issue of "Outing magazine" on page 440, it bears the caption, Ground Sparrow's nest. Of those birds building on the ground, Gene says"The architecture of about one-half the birds that build on the ground is a disgrace to decent bird carpentry... laid on the ground with a few bits of wood or weeds stalks to keep them from rolling away; and the other half build a grassy hair and down-lined structure that is exquisitely neat, as in the case of the field sparrow, oven bird and several members of the warbler family." page 438
