The Song Sparrow is a little cutie, decorated in various brown and black. The browns are unusually rich and the black streaks on the chest are very prominent ... making for a really distictive appearance. high-res

Song Sparrows generally eat seeds and bugs and an occasional earthworm. Yumm! high-res

They have a thick strong beak and they're able to make short work of the sunflower seeds which they crack open effortlessly. high-res

Male and female look alike, but this Song Sparrow is a juvenile, perhaps 2-3 months old. Look closely at the base of his beak, the orange color shows he's still got the last bit of his "baby beak". high-res |
