Clay Colored Sparrow

Clay_colored_2
It was a cloudy mid-morning when we ran across this Clay-Coloerd Sparrow singing away. Their song is an interesting one and one that sounds quite like an insect to me. Clay Colored Sparrows are birds of shrubby terrain and that is exactly where we found this one.  They are numerous within their range in the northern prairies of North America yet their numbers seem to be declining due to habitat loss.
