Savannah Sparrow

I'm really enjoying learning about sparrows.  I used to think they were all the same, just little brown birds.  I'm studying them now and learning how different they are from each other.

"Small winter flocks forage on the ground. Savannah Sparrows walk when foraging, and often run or hop. They are less shy than many other open-country sparrows, singing from weeds and fence-wires in full view, and also singing from the ground. The male performs a flight display during the breeding season, flying slowly over the tips of the grass with his tail raised and his feet dangling down. The song, a distinctive trill preceded by a series of short notes, is distinctive and commonly heard."
