The 25 MOST Common Birds in Canada! (2022)
#8. Song Sparrow
Identifying Characteristics:
Chest has brown streaks that converge onto a central breast spot.
Head has a brown crown with a grey stripe down the middle. Also, look for a grey eyebrow and cheek.
Back and body are mostly rust-brown with gray streaks throughout.
Sparrows can be incredibly difficult to identify, due to how many types of sparrows there are and the fact they look very similar. But luckily, Song Sparrows are one of the easier sparrow species to determine correctly.
Unlike other birds that nest in trees, Song Sparrows primarily nest in weeds and grasses. Many times you will find them nesting directly on the ground.
My favorite feature of Song Sparrows is their beautiful songs that can be heard across the continent. The typical one, which you can listen to below, consists of three short notes followed by a pretty trill. The song varies depending on location and the individual bird.
