Sagebrush sparrow artemisiospiza nevadensis brief views of several individuals


Artemisiospiza is a genus of birds in the bunting and American sparrow family. It contains two species:

  • Sagebrush sparrow Artemisiospiza nevadensis
  • Bell's sparrow, Artemisiospiza belli
  • The two species historically comprised the sage sparrow complex, but were split in 2013 by the AOU.

    Both Artemisiospiza species inhabit dry areas of the western United States and northern Mexico.
