There's also white-throated sparrows in the area. I'd previously only been sure of them in Boston- where 'previously' refers to the timeframe before March 12th, the day I started working from home. They're easy enough to spot in the Post Office Square park; they've got distinctively striped heads, although the ones I've seen in the Boston area have the tan and black striping more than the white and black striping you'd see on a Google image search, and remind me of brown-and-black-striped old-fashioned peppermint humbugs. Around here, though, I mostly know they're present because unlike the local house sparrows, they sing.

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-throated_Sparrow/sounds should give you an idea. The ones around here have a song closer to the second link on that page, the one recorded in Quebec in 1963.
