The Five-striped Sparrow is a distinctive sparrow found in arid mountains and canyons of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. It has a striking black face with five white stripes.
Where to spot
Breeds in canyons and rocky slopes of southeastern Arizona (U.S.) and Sonora, Mexico. Winters in Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico. Inhabits arid foothills, canyons, and thorny scrub.
How to spot
Look for it in arid canyons with thorny scrub. The bold black face with five white stripes is unmistakable. Listen for its buzzy, unmusical song.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring and summer) when males are singing. More difficult to find in winter when they are less vocal and more widely dispersed.
