Savannah Sparrows


Yet another bird that would pass unnoticed if one didn't know it existed. From a distance, checked off as a song sparrow (the chest spot). In my second year of actually paying attention, though, I'm building a better sense of how these birds behave, and the sparrows that were foraging in the bright late afternoon sun on the lawn of my daughter's elementary school were definitely not song sparrows. Look at that bright yellow brow and tell me these birds shouldn't be noticed more.
