Small but powerful, the Song Sparrow has one of the most beautiful voices of all of our backyard birds. A very common visitor to our backyard feeders, the Song Sparrow is in Ohio year-around. Both male and female Song Sparrows can be identified by a white underbelly with dark streaking, and a large breast spot. In Ohio the Song Sparrow is about 7 inches tall. They are found in many different habitats including prairies, shrubby areas near water, and woodland edges. Song Sparrows nest in low shrubby areas or even on the ground. They make a small cup-like nest and can produce anywhere from 3-5 spotted eggs. These birds feed on a wide variety of foods: berries, nuts, seeds and insects. The easiest way to identify the Song Sparrow is to listen, and then watch. The male will perch himself on a tall branch above a shrubby undergrowth area, or in the top of a tree and sing very loudly. The male serenades the female with his song and the female choses a male by how well he performs it.
Attracting these birds to your yard is fairly easy. Providing proper habitat and food is a great way to start. Having ample shrubs and perennial grasses is a sure way to attract this small musical bird. Plant a variety of perennial plants such as Echinacea (Purple Coneflower), Heliopsis (False Sunflower), and Rudbeckia (Black-Eyed Susan ). Letting these perennials go to seed is a real treat for the Song Sparrow and other backyard birds. Bird seeds that contain a nut and berry mix are a particular favorite of this song bird. Song Sparrows will feed from many types of bird feeders, but prefer to have a feeder with a perch.
