Where to spot
Found across almost all of North America, from Alaska and Canada south through the US and into central Mexico. Prefers open woodlands, shrublands, gardens, and marshes.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic song, which often starts with clear whistles followed by a buzzy trill, highly variable but always recognizable. Look for it in dense brush or on low perches, often pumping its tail while singing.
When to spot
Year-round resident in much of its range. Most visible during breeding season (spring/summer) when males sing prominently to defend territories.
