Description
A rich, russet-and-gray bird with bold streaks down its white chest, the Song Sparrow is one of the most familiar North American sparrows. Don’t let the bewildering variety of regional differences this bird shows across North America deter you: it’s one of the first species you should suspect if you see a streaky sparrow in an open, shrubby, or wet area. If it perches on a low shrub, leans back, and sings a stuttering, clattering song, so much the better.
The song sparrow is a medium-sized and chunky sparrow with a short and stout bill and a round head. It is streaky and brown iwht thick streaks on a light chest and flanks. The head is an attractive mix of warm red-brown and slaty grey, but varies extensively across North America.
The song sparrow lives in open habitat such as forest edges and backyards and it is a common bird at bird feeders.
