Savannah Sparrow

This is the time of year when we see the largest variety of birds at our home. This little bird, a Savannah Sparrow, is a common resident.  They show up in early spring and stay until late fall.

They seem to spend a majority of their time foraging on the ground or in low bushes. They mainly eat seeds, but also eat insects in the breeding season.
