Bachman's Sparrow is a shy, secretive grassland sparrow found in the southeastern United States. It has warm rufous and streaky brown plumage.
Where to spot
Southeastern United States, particularly in areas with longleaf pine forests and associated wiregrass understory. Also found in open pine woodlands and clearcuts.
How to spot
Look for it in open pine woodlands with a grassy understory. It's often difficult to see due to its secretive nature. Listen for its clear, melancholy song, often delivered from a low perch.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal and easiest to detect during the breeding season (spring and summer) when males sing their distinctive song.

This sparrow is a species of conservation concern due to significant habitat loss from urbanization and the suppression of natural fire regimes that maintain its preferred pine savannah habitat.
