Grasshopper Sparrow

Grasshopper Sparrow

Grasshopper Sparrows are one of my favorite sparrow species.  They're beautiful, but they're also somewhat of a challenge to find so you can have a sense of accomplishment when you find one. But they're not so rare here that you can't expect to find one.  There are a couple places where I can see them somewhat reliably.  And recently a couple of them have come out in the open enough for presentable photos.
