Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum)

Went out with Thursday Morning Group yesterday and when we came back to where we had carpolled from, got this lifer shot for me. We had carpolled from a small local airport and the high grass fields around it is good habitat for both the Grasshopper and Savanna Sparrow which we saw both of but only got shots of Grasshopper. Was ok with me as that is the one I needed anyway....

Congratulation on your Lifer shot Ken! I'd not heard of this bird before - quite attractive, isn't it.

A fantastic closeup of this small Sparrow. Great focus, color, detail, lighting, perch, and a superb complimentary background. Excellent!!!
