This week's featured bird is a little brown job that is more often recognized by its beautiful voice than by its variable markings: the song sparrow. While its plumage can be bold and the stickpin marking on its chest is a key field mark, the more than 30 geographical variations of song sparrows can be confusing. The bird's warbling, chirping song is quite distinct, however, and song sparrows are often found perching in bushes and brush to sing.How do you recognize song sparrows?
