American
Tree Sparrow Range Map
The American Tree Sparrow breeds from Alaska and
northern Yukon across Canada to northern Quebec
and Labrador, and south to northwestern British
Columbia, northern Saskatchewan, and central
Quebec. It winters from southern Canada south to
northern California, northern and east-central
Arizona, north-central Texas, Arkansas, and North
Carolina. During the nesting season, the American
Tree Sparrow inhabits scrub conifers, boggy
meadows, and wet, hummocky tundra strewn with
boulders and interspersed with willow, birch
scrub, and other low shrubbery. It occurs as far
north as scrubby growth is found, and in sparse
forests just below treeline. In winter, it
frequents open country, weedy fields, brushy
pastures, marshes, fencerows, hedgerows, and
thickets.
