Description
Our song sparrow is very much darker than this one, but the picture gives you some idea of the bird we know here. Mottled above and streaked below, it has a noticeably larger splotch of brown in the center of the breast. As his name denotes, the song sparrow is one of the most tuneful of the sparrow family. He is not a great or showy musician, but a singer of songs, plain every-day home songs with the heart left in them. His content and good cheer are so contagious that you welcome his voice wherever you hear it. Usually it sings from some high perch, and quite often in the evening.
