Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

Although not brilliantly plumaged, the conspicuous Song Sparrow is one of the more regularly seen birds in Oregon.

Defensive and curious, when approached it readily announces its presence with loud chips and often excitedly rises to a conspicuous perch to confront the interloper.

The Song Sparrow is well named as both male and female have a variety of songs, which may be heard at any time of year, and juvenile birds begin to sing full songs within 2 months of hatching.

The Song Sparrow is a common and widespread resident of western Oregon.
