Savannah Sparrow
Passerculus sandwichensis
A small streaked sparrow of open grasslands, hayfields, marsh edges, dunes, and tundra-like meadows across North America. It feeds mostly on seeds outside the breeding season and adds many insects and spiders while nesting. Savannah Sparrows usually stay low in dense grass, flushing only a short distance before dropping back into cover. A notable feature is the yellowish spot before the eye, which helps distinguish it from many other streaked sparrows.
