Song Sparrow

Melospiza melodia - Abundant in East, locally in West in moist areas with bushes, hedgerows, and wood margins. Told by the heavily streaked breast with a central spot, by lack of yellow or buffy color, and by long slightly rounded tail which it "pumps" in flight. Song is lively and varied, of many short notes and a trill near the end, 4-6/min.
