Song Sparrow

Based on a delightful song I am hazarding a shaky opinion this is Melospiza melodia. Little brown birds - who knows? But, I took this advice fron the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "Don’t let the bewildering variety of regional differences this bird shows across North America deter you: it’s one of the first species you should suspect if you see a streaky sparrow in an open, shrubby, or wet area. If it perches on a low shrub, leans back, and sings a stuttering, clattering song, so much the better."
