The Rusty-crowned Ground-Sparrow is a small, relatively plain sparrow with a distinctive rusty-brown crown. It is a ground-dwelling bird found in dry and semi-arid scrublands.
Where to spot
Found in western and southern Mexico. It inhabits arid scrublands, dry woodlands, open pine-oak forests, and agricultural areas with dense ground cover.
How to spot
Look for its prominent rusty crown, which contrasts with its grayish face and plain underparts. It forages primarily on the ground, often scratching through leaf litter. Listen for its clear, whistled song, often a series of repeated notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its somewhat drab appearance, this ground-sparrow has a surprisingly rich and melodious song, often delivered from a low perch.
