American Tree Sparrow

Despite their name, they build their nests on the ground.


The Tree Sparrow is very similar to the Chipping Sparrow. The difference being the rusty crown and eyestripe on the Tree Sparrow and the gray breast has a dark spot in the middle. They nest in the summer in the far north of Canada and winter in northern United States. A group of Tree Sparrows are known as a "grove" of sparrows.
