| Botteri's Sparrow |

Shoot Me Monday
Lots of birds are on the move south. By now the Botteri's Sparrows that spend the summers in Southeast Arizona are in Mexico. Back in August I searched for them in the grasslands below Madera Canyon. This is a good spot to find them and I had seen them here before. But I never had the opportunity to photograph one. After listening to a few distant birds singing, I heard one nearby. It's definitely a song you want to know since they're hard to get a good look at. Luckily it was just off the side of the road.

ReplyDeleteNice! Sweet hat you came away with some photos too.
ReplyDeleteThese Sparrows will necessitate a trip back to that area for me. Oh, darn...
