American Tree Sparrow (Spizella arborea)

Photo by BarrytheBirder

The American Tree Sparrow winters in weedy fields, marshes and groves of small trees between the American/Canadian border and the mid-USA states, from the western Pacific coast to the eastern Atlantic coast.   Winter birds are buffier, with a rufous colour on the crown sometimes forming a central stripe, as seen in the photo above.
