Brighton - I found out that there is a small colony of this uncommon to rare species at this location so while in the area I checked it out and had good luck with several of the birds.
Burnt Lands Provincial Park - I had the opportunity to revisit this area and got a few more shots of Grasshopper Sparrows very early in the morning. This species has unusual dabs of colour. It has a touch of ketchup on the lores and a splash of mustard on the leading edge of the wing.:)
Burnt Lands Provincial Park - This has become a difficult species to find, even in areas of suitable habitat. In this case a few pairs can be found breeding on a semi-open alvar with six other species of sparrows.
Vu à Elgin, Québec ce matin. Un gros merci au monsieur qui s'occupe du terrain à cet endroit sur la rue Jamieson. Ma première rencontre avec cette espèce au Québec depuis 1989.
At Elgin, Quebec this morning. A Grasshopper Sparrow was signing at 6:15am and seemed calm and right at home. Hopefully it will find a mate. My first time seeing this species in Quebec since the summer 1989 in Hudson, Quebec.
