Brewer's Sparrow
Sage Junction, Idaho
A sagebrush obligate species, these inhabit much of the Intermountain U.S.. A sub-species, the Timberline Sparrow, summers and breeds in alpine valleys and does not associate with sage at that time. Both sub-species winter in the Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico. Studies unfortunately show that this species has declined in numbers by some 60% since 1961.
