The Übiquitous Sparrow. The sparrow is a jack-of-all-trades, says a writer in Forest and Bird; it is a flycatcher, at other times it wages war on grubs, caterpillars, etc.; and in season frequently takes its wages from the grain grower. It does a little poaching at times by robbing the spider's web of its victims. In all temperate climes inhabited by man there is the sparrow looking optimistic and well, and in order to secure a living taking many risks which other species avoid.
