Chipping Sparrow - Bruant familier
This species was everywhere during the few days I spent in Prince Edward County for the spring migration. This image was secured on a late day sweep of the National Wildlife Area, and on the edge of the cliffs overlooking Lake Ontario.
I should have clarified: the blue is not the sky but the Lake. The bird was down low enough that I caught the Lake in the background from the cliff. I tried to move around to have the bird wholly against the blue but it was not as patient as I was hoping for.
As is common in migration season, and especially in a fallout, birds mingled with each other, and the Sparrows were always a mixed gang. Vesper Sparrows were a big deal for me to see, and Savannah Sparrows sat in the young trees along Song Sparrows.
