Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis)

If it seems that I've been posting a predominence of sparrows lately well...you're right. It is that time of year when I find myself focusing on them. There are many I'd like to get but haven't as yet. The Savannah is one of them. There are several varieties of them and I am not good at distinguishing between them. I think this might be the Beldings? Can't quite figure why I like shooting them; they are not stunning in any particular way...just like them.
