  • The song sparrow is found in nearly every part of North America, including Northern Mexico all the way north to the arctic tundra. This redder-than-usual sparrow was seen hopping around the rocks at the low-tide line looking for bits and pieces of food left by the receeding water on Washington's Puget Sound, about 25 miles south of Seattle.

  • This song sparrow was welcoming the springtime with the most beautiful singing in Bellevue, Washington.

    Song Sparrow
  • Found commonly across North America near water with plenty of brush for cover, the song sparrow is a favorite of many birders. This dark Pacific Northwest variation showed up early one chilly winter morning at my campsite on Washington's Point Disappointment (extreme SW corner of the state where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean).

  • A song sparrow perches on the seedpods last summer's wildflowers on a late winter morning in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on North Florida's Gulf Coast.
    Song Sparrow
  • These very beautiful bittersweet nightshade berries found ripening on the vine are native to Europe and Asia, and arrived roughly in the 1860's and were used by the Makah Indians as a medicine for stomach issues. Now naturalized throughout most of North America, this relative to the potato is an invasive weed that can grow in huge thickets and can compete with native plants. This plant is known to be VERY DANGEROUS to both humans and other animals and has caused people to die. It is said that once the berries are fully ripe (when they are bright red) that the amount of solanine - the toxic alkaloid, is greatly reduced. Seeds are spread by the common song sparrow and a few other birds that eat them, who are unaffected by the poisons the berries carry.
