Botteri's Sparrow is a relatively plain, streaky sparrow found in grasslands and savannas of the southwestern U.S. and Central America. It can be challenging to identify due to its muted plumage.
Where to spot
Breeds in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, extending south through Central America to Costa Rica. Winters mainly in Mexico and Central America. Found in arid grasslands and savannas.
How to spot
Look for it in tall, dry grass, often on or near the ground. Its plain, streaky brown plumage makes it inconspicuous. Listen for its distinctive, often buzzy song.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring and summer) when males sing from exposed perches. Wintering birds are more elusive.

This sparrow is often very secretive, preferring to run along the ground through dense grass rather than fly, making it difficult to spot.
