Description
Savannah Sparrow Youngster 2.
A Belding's Savannah Sparrow youngster sitting on a dead branch. A couple of young Sparrows have recently appeared (April 2020), with the parents teaching them to fend for themselves. Note the yellow around the mouth and the lack of crisp black streaks definitive spots which define a young sparrow. 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.
Savannah Sparrows tend very strongly to return each year to the area where they hatched. This tendency, called natal philopatry, is the driving force for differentiation of numerous Savannah Sparrow subspecies.
