Spotted
Brewer's Sparrow is a pale, finely streaked sparrow of arid western North America, often found in sagebrush country. It is known for its subtle plumage and buzzy song.
Where to spot
Breeds in western North America, from southern Canada south through the western U.S. Winters in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Found primarily in sagebrush plains and other arid scrublands.
How to spot
Look for it in sagebrush or similar arid scrub. Its plain, finely streaked plumage makes it inconspicuous. Listen for its complex, buzzy song, which is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (spring to early summer) when males are singing. Can be difficult to find in winter when they are less vocal.

This sparrow's song is a complex series of buzzes and trills, often delivered from a hidden perch deep within a sagebrush bush.
