Sparrow and Finch-like Songbirds

There are many sparrow and finch-like birds. Many grosbeaks, finches, and buntings are quite colorful. Some of the females, however, are streaky and brown--as are many of the sparrows. All share a thicker conical beak for eating seeds. Many are familiar backyard and feeder birds.

Munias, weavers, finches, goldfinches, longspurs, towhees, sparrows, juncos, grosbeaks and buntings, make up this varied group. [Look for the insectivorous tanagers in the Thrush-like Songbirds page.]
