Feeding Habits
Oaxaca Sparrow primarily eats seeds, insects, and spiders, with fruits as a supplement. It forages on the ground, actively seeking food likely during daylight. Oaxaca Sparrow may exhibit unique preferences for certain seeds or insects, showcasing dietary adaptability consistent with sparrows.
Habitat
Oaxaca Sparrow is typically found in a range of arid to semiarid habitats featuring oak scrub and oak-thorn scrub, as well as in patches of overgrown grassy areas. The species prefers environments characterized by scrubby trees forming a dense understory, which in some places generates nearly impenetrable thickets. The vegetation predominantly includes scrub oaks and other shrubs like manzanita, favoring rugged hillsides and areas with rock outcrops. These birds tend to avoid heavier vegetation along streamsides, except occasionally for song perches.
