Seaside Sparrows were singing on both sides and occasionally popped up to give us a view before diving deep back into the Spartina grass, hopefully getting ready to nest. Seaside Sparrow. At the end of the road, we found two Nelson’s Sparrows who quickly flew out to a tiny bit of land in the channel. Eastern Meadowlark.

UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank. These threats are further exacerbated by the naturally low reproductive rates of these cavity-nesting birds.

There, you may find the Java Sparrow. If you choose the latter, your music taste is more aligned with that of Java Sparrows (though the sample size in this study , 4 birds, of which 2 preferred Bach while the other two showed no clear preference, seems rather small).
