https://www.vogelwarte.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/5775_1.jpg16001200The brown-grey Song Sparrow with its distinct dark streaks on upper breast is widely distributed in North America. Song Sparrows appear to have distinct preferences for certain nesting sites. Long-term studies showed that the same nest sites were chosen again and again although by different birds. This species was observed in Switzerland for the first time in 2010. Confirmed sightings in Europe are very rare.
