The Five-striped Sparrow is the most southern native sparrow seen in North America. This grey, black, brown and white sparrow is found along the Mexican border and Arizona. The best chance of seeing this sparrow in Arizona, requires traveling on small hardly used gravel roads into the canyons and gullies along the US/Mexican border.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
