Bachman's Sparrow

A lifer for me, I captured this secretive and little-known Bachman's Sparrow on my April trip to Florida in 2019. My guide pointed them out to me - thanks Carl! My Flickr friend Ruth was with us on that trip as well, so we essentially have the same photo of this lovely bird.

 

I was contacted for permission to use this photo as part of a interpretive panel for the Alachua Conservation Trust. I recently saw a photo of the display which has now been installed. This was part of a two year project that was funded with a grant provided by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I'm very pleased that this photo can help people understand what is needed to help restore the environment in ways that allow animals in nature to thrive and to see this beautiful sparrow.

 

Taken 4 April 2019 at Jonathon Dickinson State Park, Florida.
