I am much smaller than a sparrow. In the spring, males have a dull bluish back, my breast and flanks are streaked with black. My rump, crown, throat and small area at the sides of my breast are yellow. In the fall, males, females, and young are streaked gray-brown but always have yellow rump and white spots in the tail.

I can be seen in the Mixed Woodland and Oak Savanna plant communities on Table Rocks.

My voice is a buzzy warble and my call is a sharp chek! When nesting, I lay four or five white eggs, spotted and blotched with brown, in a bulky nest of twigs, rootlets, and grass, lined with hair and feathers and placed in a conifer.
