Fox Sparrow
Passerella iliaca
The Fox Sparrow is bigger and heavier than other sparrows, and is boldly striped with a rich rufous colour. It is almost unmistakable. It is found in a broad range from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to New Brunswick. They have a rich, melodious sound and quite noisy as they scratch in leaves for food. Western 'Foxes' are more dusky brown or slaty than the "fox-coloured birds of the east.
