| Like many other North American sparrows, their commonest foraging strategy is to use the 'double-scratce technique' in which the bird pushes the leaf litter to the side simultaneously with both feet to expose seeds buried in the ground. Individuals foraging in this way are easily detected by the rustling in the undergrowth. |
