Song Sparrows are the most common, widespread,
and most geographically variable of all the birds
found in North America. It has 34 recognized
sub-species that have varying appearances from very large,
long billed members to small, tiny-billed specimens.

Song Sparrows, being ground nesters are not interested in building their
nests in cavities of any kind including a nest box.

of the fact that these birds sing as many as 20 different tunes with
as many as 1,000 improvised variations on the basic theme.
