Breeds in the northern Great Plains of Canada and the U.S. Winters in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Found in open grasslands with scattered shrubs, regenerating clearcuts, and hedgerows.
How to spot
Look for it in open, bushy habitats. Note its pale, unstreaked belly and distinct facial pattern. Listen for its buzzy song.
