SONG SPARROW 
“This species, as a whole, ranges from ocean to ocean, but over much of this 
wide area it is not possible to trace the movements of the migrating individuals 
because the observers cannot distinguish these from the resident breeding birds. 
Thus, on the Pacific slope most of the Song Sparrows perform a more or less 
extended migration, but some winter north to British Columbia and others breed 
south to Lower California. It is not possible, therefore, to give any migrating dates 
for the Pacific slope. In the eastern United States the birds winter north regu- 
larly to Nebraska and New Jersey, and breed south to southern Nebraska and 
southern Virginia. Thus there is a belt in the vicinity of the parallel of 40° N. lati- 
tude in which Song Sparrows are found every month in the year and no migration 
data are available.
