About Me: Song sparrows are mid-sized sparrows measuring between 12-17 cm. They are a monomorphic species. Song sparrows exhibit heavily streaked plumage
. They are most easily recognized by dark streaks that form a central chest spot (stick pin). The head is brown with a whitish or grayish crown stripe and eye stripe. The tail is usually tinged with rusty, brown-red colored feathers, fairly long and rounded. The bill is dark brown. Song sparrows communicate primarily through body language and vocalizations. They have a range of song and call types that communicate different states and attitudes. http://home.bluemarble.net/~pqn/ch31-40/ssparrow.html
