Sparrow surprise

Today, in the lower garden, amidst throngs of Swamp and Song Sparrows, a stranger appeared: this beautiful Grasshopper Sparrow. Turns out this is not the first time I've seen this species there - but the previous sighting was 25 years ago!



Soon after finding this bird, Suzette and Ian appeared, and we spent a pleasant couple of hours. Other "good" birds - Lincoln's Sparrows and a Bay-breasted Warbler at the soccer circle (golden head, rufous patch on sides, no eyering noted).
