Clip Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I don't get stumped by sparrows much any more but this April 2015 taken in Pawnee National Grasslands has me wondering if I came across a Botteri's Sparrow. This would be rare of sure in the area but the lack of any stripe on the top of the head has very curious what others might say. I did a bit of browsing in ebird photos of the species and found some variation in colors...but this photo looks pretty darn similar to my bird: https://ebird.org/media/catalog?taxonCode=botspa&q=Botteri's Sparrow - Peucaea botterii The link didn't work like I had hoped. I was trying to get just one photo but this might be better any way. Edited October 19, 2021 by Clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 I didn't even consider a House Sparrow! Silly me! I can't recall ever seeing a House Sparrow in this part of the Grasslands so it never occurred to me. Thanks guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
