Cinnamon Sparrow

Cinnamon Sparrow

Sparrows without black spots on cheeks.

Characteristics

They look very similar to sparrows, but are a different species.

They are characterized by the lack of black spots on their cheeks. Their backs are brown, but males are brighter in color than sparrows. Females are lighter brown than males, and have prominent light-colored eyebrows.

Ecology

They live in mountain forests, and also visit farmland in winter.

Sparrows can be seen on flat land and in cities, but New Year's sparrows seem to live in mountainous areas (flat land in Hokkaido).

They eat seeds and other plant-based foods, as well as insects.

Habitat

Service area in Hokkaido

I photographed them flying to trees planted at a service area in Hokkaido in spring. At first glance, they were clearer than sparrows. They were characterized by a longer, drawn-out voice than sparrows.
