We have had the privilege of having American Tree Sparrows in our yard. They are interesting to watch. They have a rusty cap on their heads, and have a streaked brown back. Their breast is a smooth gray and they have a dark smudge in the centre of the breast.
They are smaller than the Fox Sparrow that I put up last week, but act very similar, eating grass and weed seeds. They also like to perch in the open/
These birds are in our area during the migration seasons. Often we see them in the winter, but it’s usually in the spring and fall that we see them the most. They enjoy the bird feeders.
In the summer, they migrate to northern Canada, which is their breeding grounds.
It’s interesting to see the birds as they migrate through the area. And it’s interesting thinking about how God made them to migrate.
