Vesper Sparrow with food

A Vesper Sparrow, with food in the form of a grasshopper, paused briefly at Red Rock Coulee Natural Area south of the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. It was presumably on its way to nearby young to sustain, though I did not see a nest. (The small chestnut patch visible at the top of its wing is a diagnostic feature for this species.)
