The Grasshopper Sparrow is a small American sparrow. Adults have upperparts streaked with brown, grey, black and white; they have a light brown breast, a white belly and a short brown tail. Their face is light brown with an eye ring and a dark brown crown with a central narrow light stripe.
Large, chunky sparrow with a large head. Face is gray; bill is black and yellow. Fox Sparrows spend a lot of time on the ground. They spend winters in scrubby habitat and forest, when they are most likely to be seen kicking around under backyard bird feeders.
American Tree Sparrows are small, round-headed birds that often fluff out their feathers, making their plump bodies look even chubbier. Look for small flocks of American Tree Sparrows in winter in weedy fields with hedgerows or shrubs, along forest edges, or near marshes. They readily visit backyards, especially if there's a seed feeder.
