American Tree Sparrow

Look for this rusty-capped sparrow in weedy fields, brushy edges and open tundra-adjacent scrub, where it forages low in vegetation or on the ground for seeds, often in loose flocks during the non-breeding season. Its clear, musical song is most often heard on its northern breeding grounds in summer, while winter brings it into more open country and around feeders farther south. Cold months are typically the easiest time to observe it at feeding stations across much of its winter range.
