Grasshopper Sparrow
Grasshopper Sparrows are threatened in NJ due to habitat distruction. I am doing a consulting job for a large property owner that is trying to provide more grasslands for threatened breeding bird species. I found one pair on the property today in one of the places they have bred for a number of years.
They tend to be secretive and skulky, so I was glad to get this photo, although something with less gravel might be more attractive ;-)
