White-crowned Sparrow

The White-crowned Sparrow is a common breeding bird from the Pacific Coast in the Lower 48 to the northern extent of its range in Arctic Alaska (Chilton et al. 1995). The Gambel’s subspecies, the breeder in Alaska, is most commonly associated with shrubby riparian habitats that run through both boreal and tundra environs. White-crowned Sparrows consume a wide variety of plant and animal prey and during the breeding season feed their young a strict diet of insect and other animal prey. Alaskan birds are short-distance migrants and winter in temperate North America (Chilton et al. 1995). Overall White-crowned Sparrow populations appear to be stable (Chilton et al. 1995).
