Day 145: Grasshopper Sparrow

The Grasshopper Sparrow is a small, inconspicuous grassland bird with an insect-like song. They forage on the ground for insects and seeds.



We heard several Grasshopper Sparrows last weekend when we visited western Maryland. The little suckers like to hide in tall grass, but I was determined to see one for a photo. Finally, one actually landed on the path right in front of us!
