	Savannah Sparrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the tundra at the northern extent of the range, Savannah Sparrows are associated with dwarf willows and birches, while farther south they may be found in wet meadows, hay fields and pastures.
		Savannah Sparrows are slimmer, with smaller and more rounded heads, than the grassland sparrows of the genus Ammodramus, which are thought to be closely related.
		Savannah Sparrows have buffy eye rings that are much less prominent than those of Vesper Sparrows (Pooecetes gramineus) and lack the Vesper Sparrow's chestnut wing coverts and white outer tail feathers.

	Charliesbirdblog: "Belding's" Savannah Sparrow
		Belding's Savannah Sparrows Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi are endemic to southern California's and Baja California, Mexico's coastal salt marshes.
		Belding's Savannah Sparrow has suffered population declines with the loss of suitable high pickleweed marsh: in California, over 75% of the presettlement acreage of California's coastal wetlands have been lost to human development.
		Sparrows nesting in a small, isolated salt marsh failed to produce fledglings over the course of the breeding season, but birds nesting in a small, connected wetland succeeded.

	Savannah Sparrow
		Savannah Sparrow populations tend to be classified as either salt marsh (coastal) or "typical" (upland); life histories and requirements of those populations vary accordingly.
		Savannahs are more abundant in areas of dense vegetation with abundant shelter, so grazed fields and other areas that utilize such nonnative plants may effectively reduce Savannah Sparrow populations, or crowd them into small remaining patches of native habitat.

	Birds of Nova Scotia - Savannah Sparrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Remarks This little sparrow, commonly called "gray-bird" on the mainland, is an inconspicuous and unobtrusive bird whose usual perch is a weed stalk in a meadow and seldom anything higher than a fence post.
		Although this bird bears some resemblance to the Song Sparrow, it is grayer than its browner and slightly larger cousin, and its tail is shorter and slightly notched, that of the Song Sparrow being somewhat rounded.
		Extensive studies of the breeding biology and population dynamics of the "Ipswich Sparrow" were made by Ian A. McLaren and his students (Stobo and McLaren 1975; Ross 1980a, 1980b; Ross and McLaren 1981), to which the reader is referred for details on this uniquely Nova Scotian subspecies.

	Endangered Species Protection
		The Belding's Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi) is a non-migratory subspecies that occurs in coastal salt marshes between Goleta Slough, Santa Barbara County, and Bahia de San Quintin in Mexico.
		The Belding's Savannah Sparrow is one of the few bird species that resides year-round in the salt marsh; it depends entirely on this ecosystem for nesting and foraging.

	All About Birds
		From meadows to marshland, and from temperate coastlines to tundra, the Savannah Sparrow is found in various open habitats throughout much of North America.
		In general, the Savannah Sparrow has probably expanded its range and thrived because of human-induced changes to the landscape.
		The "Ipswich Savannah Sparrow," a subspecies that breeds on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, is nearly 50 percent heavier than most other Savannah Sparrow subspecies.

		Thus, the population dynamic's of Belding's Savannah Sparrow may reflect the effects of fragmentation.
		Belding's Savannah Sparrows prefer to nest in the mid- to upper-littoral zones of coastal salt marshes, but the effects of habitat characteristics on reproductive success have not been explored (Massey 1979, Powell 1993).
		The objectives of our study were to: (1) examine the effects of fragmentation on resident populations of sparrows, (2) examine the influence of habitat on reproductive success, (3) identify characteristics of breeding habitat, and (4) discuss implications of our results for wetland conservation.

		The renal anatomy of three species of sparrows, two from mesic areas, the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia), and one salt marsh species, the Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) was examined.
		In addition, stereology was used to quantify the volumes of cortex, medulla, and major vasculature of the kidneys, and the volumes and surface areas occupied by individual nephron components.
		Within the medulla, the Savannah Sparrow has a significantly higher volume and surface area of capillaries, and a significantly higher surface area of thick limbs of Henle and collecting ducts than the mesic species.

		Nice shot, I could be wrong, but I believe the white breast with stripes is more indicative of a savannah sparrow, Passerculus sandwichensis.
		The white throated sparrow has a less white breast and the wings are more brown, and the crown is darker.

		Discussion Sixteen subspecies of this most familiar of the grassland sparrows are recognized, each slightly different in coloration and song.
		One large and pale form that breeds at Sable Island, Nova Scotia, was until recently considered a separate species, the "Ipswich Sparrow." Savannah Sparrows are able runners; once discovered, they drop into the grass and dart away.
		In the fall they migrate southward in huge numbers and may then be found almost anywhere, even in city parks.

		I was quite surprised to find a nicely-plumaged SAVANNAH SPARROW along the trail that runs between the pond and the BAE Systems building in the brush.
		I did a double take, expecting it to be a pale-plumaged Song Sparrow, but it flew to a nearby branch, showing off its short tail and pale lores, posing for a few minutes.
		Also observed were six COMMON NIGHTHAWKS flying overhead with associating CHIMNEY SWIFTS, and two EASTERN KINGBIRDS refueling on the boardwalk across the pond.

		So if you look at the right-hand side of the sparrows head where the yellow eyebrow meets the background, there is a wierd-looking blockiness extending into te background.
		And yes, it;s only a minor criticism, because the sav sparrow image is so strong otherwise.
		Cropping most of it it out kept all of the bird intact and blending the edge frame covered the little that remained in the foreground.
