Reed Bunting オオジュリン(大寿林, Emberiza schoeniclus)

オオジュリン(大寿林、学名Emberiza schoeniclus) メス 雌
Wikipediaによると、形態は
 全長14.5cm。翼は赤褐色の羽毛で覆われ、黒い縦縞状の斑紋が入る。
 オスの冬羽の頭部は赤褐色で、夏羽では喉にかけて黒くなる。これは羽毛が生え換わるからではなく、冬羽の赤褐色の部分が摩耗し、より内側の黒い部分が表に現れてくることによる。嘴の基部から頬へ向かう斑紋(頬線)は白い。頸部から腹面は白く、顎線と繋がる。背面は赤褐色に黒い縦縞が入る。腹面は白い。オスの冬羽はメスに似るが、喉が黒い斑紋で囲まれる。メスは頭頂部と頬が褐色、眼上部にある眉状の斑紋(眉斑)と頬線は黄褐色。背面には灰褐色と黒の縦縞が入る。腹面は灰褐色の羽毛で覆われ、体側面には褐色の縦縞が入る。

Savannah Sparrow クサチヒメドリ

Savannah Sparrow,クサチヒメドリ
P. sandwichensis; Genus: Passerculus; Family: Emberizidae
The Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) is a small American sparrow. It is the only widely accepted member of the genus Passerculus. Recent comparison of mtDNA NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 and 3 sequences indicates that the Ipswich Sparrow, formerly usually considered a good species (as Passerculus princeps), is a well-marked subspecies of the Savannah Sparrow, whereas the southwestern subspecies should be recognized as distinct species Large-billed Sparrow (Passerculus rostratus) (wikipedia).

White-crowned Sparrow ミヤマシトド(深山鵐)

White-crowned Sparrow,ミヤマシトド,深山鵐
Zonotrichia leucophrys; ORDER: PASSERIFORMES FAMILY: EMBERIZIDAE
White-crowned Sparrows appear each winter over much of North America to grace our gardens and favorite trails (they live in parts of the West year-round). The smart black-and-white head, pale beak, and crisp gray breast combine for a dashing look – and make it one of the surest sparrow identifications in North America. Watch for flocks of these sparrows scurrying through brushy borders and overgrown fields, or coax them into the open with backyard feeders. As spring approaches, listen out for this bird’s thin, sweet whistle (Allaboutbirds).

California Towhee ムジトウヒチョウ

Pipilo crissalis, ORDER: PASSERIFORMES FAMILY: EMBERIZIDAE
California Towhees are at heart birds of the tangled chaparral and other hot scrublands of California and Oregon. You’re as likely to hear their bright chip notes along a secluded trail as on your way out your front door. If you live in the Southwest, look for this bird’s twin, the Canyon Towhee. (Allaboutbirds)
