Olive Sparrow
Arremonops rufivirgatus
The Olive Sparrow’s preferred habitat is dense thorny scrublands. They range from southern Texas to Central America and are non-migratory. Their songs are reminiscent of the bouncing ball song of the Black-Chinned Sparrow, and their appearance is similar to a Green-Tailed Towhee. Most of their time is spent on or near the ground, both when foraging for seeds and the occasional insect, and when nesting.

Description: Because Olive Sparrows love dense thickets and understory, they are difficult to capture their images. These were one of the birds I applied effort to find on this day. My third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas was intended to pickup images of a couple of the birds I came up short with on my second visit. But then I started meeting new birds and I stayed all day. |
