Vesper Sparrow


A well-cropped photo of this Vesper Sparrow, taken three days ago during a walk at Confluence Park. Oh, it feels so strange to be uploading a bird photo after all the flowers and fungi of summer! Not the greatest shot (messy on the left), but it is the first closer photo I've taken of a Vesper Sparrow. Has chestnut shoulder patch and white eye ring.
"Vesper Sparrows are birds of dry, open areas with grass or stubble, such as grasslands, cultivated fields, pastures, roadsides, and parkland meadows. In this habitat they are common to fairly common in the southern two-thirds of Alberta except the mountains, and uncommon to scarce in the northern third." From talkaboutwildlife.ca.
