Clay-colored Sparrow, Spizella pallida.
April 26 to May 9. Somewhat rare spring transient. The five or more sightings by several observers in spring 1984 more than doubled the previous number of records in the Audubon Society file. Most sightings have involved 1 or 2 birds, but a flock of 12 was found at Fayetteville on April 28, 1968. At least three were in an old field at Lake Fayetteville on May 2, 1986, and for several days thereafter.

Field Sparrow, Spizella pusilla.
Common permanent resident.

Fox Sparrow, Passerella iliaca.
October 10 to April 13+. Common winter resident in forest edge habitat. A single bird at Lost Valley near Ponca on April 28, 1987, was "late."
