Grasshopper Sparrow
Grasshopper Sparrow can be seen in most of the continental USA as well as some areas of southern Canada, and south into Mexico and Central America. As with many open country sparrow species, it is usually difficult to see although during breeding season these birds perch in the open to sing. “The primary male song, a high trill preceded by a stereotyped series of short chips, is reminiscent of the sounds of grasshoppers and is the origin of this species' name.” (Wikipedia)
This individual was in Grasslands National Park in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada.
