The American Tree Sparrow is a common winter visitor in backyards all across southern Canada and the northern United States. Despite its common name, it forages on the ground, nests on the ground, and breeds primarily above treeline in the far North.
Song a series of thin, high, sweet whistled notes. Call a hard "tseet."
