In the tropical Pacific, the Eurasian Tree Sparrow is often found in towns and villages, perching on rooftops or power lines. Full of boundless energy and spirit, this bird, known in Marshallese as Baoin Jekan, produces a simple chirrup sound that is not quite musical but nevertheless distinct. Similar in appearance to the house sparrow, the Eurasian Tree Sparrow is smaller and thinner, distinguished by its white cheek with contrasting black patch on the ear covert. Its black chin patch is narrower and smaller than the house sparrow's, while the Eurasian Tree Sparrow is identified by a brown, rather than a gray crown. Two white wing bars are another characteristic trait of these intriguing birds. Although these two species are often seen together in certain regions of North America, they do not occur together in the tropical Pacific.

This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands $10 European Tree Sparrow stamp issued January 9, 1999.
