Daily Birding 📷 78

2E5A2445 Song Sparrow.jpg


I saw this species the last time that I visited Washington. This little bird can be hard to distinguish from other sparrows on first glance. The red on the stripes helps narrow it down. From there, the closest contender is the Fox Sparrow and it lacks the center chest ‘dot’.

The Song Sparrow has red-brown stripes on its head and chest, as well as grey on its head. The darker ‘dot’ in the center chest is a great identifier.

This particular bird sits in this specific tree to sing for many hours in the mornings. It also visits the feeder occasionally throughout the day. It seems to prefer to forage on the ground for fallen seeds over sitting on the feeder.



A great way to positively identify species from one another is to listen to their song. Macaulay Library has a vast number of recordings from around the world. You can listen to, and see, many creatures as they have videos and photos as well as sounds.





My husband, @josephsavage, is speaking at the Steem Creators Conference in Las Vegas next month. We will both be going and I hope to see you there!
