Description

Savannah Sparrow Parent and Youngster 1. A Belding's Savannah Sparrow parent and youngster sitting on dead branches. A couple of young Sparrows have recently appeared (May 2019), with the parents teaching them to fend for themselves. We have these birds on our property in Orange County, CA.

Savannah Sparrows are brown above and white below, with crisp streaks throughout. Their upperparts are brown with black streaks, and the underparts are white with thin brown or black streaks on the breast and flanks. Look for a small yellow patch on the face in front of the eye.

Savannah Sparrows eat seeds on or near the ground, alone or in small flocks. When flushed, they usually fly up, flare their short tails, and circle around to land some yards away. In spring and summer, males sing their dry, insect-like melodies from exposed, low perches such as fenceposts. Also, listen for a thin, high-pitched tsss call.
