Field Notes
Description:
This species has a typically sparrow-like dark-streaked brown back, and whitish underparts with brown or blackish breast and flank streaking. It has whitish crown and supercilium stripes, sometimes with some yellow (more often near the beak). The cheeks are brown and the throat white. The flight feathers are blackish-brown with light brown or white border. The eyes are dark. The feet and legs are horn-colored, as is the lower part of the bill, with the upper part being dark grey. In summer, they don’t hesitate to advertise their location, belting out a loud, insect-like song from farm fields and grasslands.
Habitat:
Hiding in the new growth on the beach beside Lake Lewisville.
