Song Sparrow

The Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) is a common and widespread bird with a beautiful and prominent streaking pattern. The song sparrow has numerous subspecies that vary in appearance considerably across its expansive range. Frequently more vocal than they are visible, it is usually easier to hear song sparrows than see them. Fortunately they are equally as pleasing to listen to as they are to watch.
