1305_1189 Clay-colored Sparrow

Another somewhat nondescript little songbird of the northern prairie. It isn't flashy or colourful, and even its song is described as "a series of insectlike buzzes" by my bird guide. Nevertheless, I love the presence of these prairie birds; without them, the "great lone land" would be a lot lonelier. In a buffaloberry thicket, Frenchman River Valley, near Val Marie, Saskatchewan.
