Vesper Sparrow
Pooecetes gramineus
This bird winters from the southern USA and south into Mexico, but breeds in the northern 70% of the USA and into much of southern Canada. This bird prefers dry short grass and sage habitats where it nests and forages on the ground for seeds or in low brush for bugs when on the breeding grounds. Our bird usually avoids tall or wet grass areas.
