Vesper Sparrow

02 Nov 2009 139
A third and final photo of this little Vesper Sparrow that we saw at Confluence Park a while ago. I'm not very likely to get another shot of this species, so thought I'd add all three to my Birds of Alberta Set. "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 .
