Fox Sparrows spend much of their time close to the ground foraging for food in fallen leaves and under dense cover. With a diet consisting mainly of seeds, insects and berries, the Fox Sparrow searches for food by scratching the soil, making a small forward jump, then scratching back with both feet. During breeding season, Fox Sparrows nest low to the ground in chaparral habitats, under dense, shrubby vegetation.
