Le Conte's Sparrow

Le Conte's Sparrow , a photo by ricmcarthur on Flickr. This was a rare visitor at Rondeau two years ago. I like the appearance of the water in the background. It is mainly a western bird seen on the prairies and boggy fields. It caused quite a stir and was a one day wonder. It has a bright orange eyebrow and a buffy breast, a white median crown stripe and strong stripes on the back. Ammodramus leconteii
