Adventures in Colorblind Birding 2: Grasshopper Sparrow


Swamp Sparrow?! I perch here and pose and show off my beautiful orange chest and you wonder if I'm a Swamp Sparrow?

Can you say, "Am-mo-dra-mus?"

Help me out here, Chipmunk.

"Am-mo-dra-mus."

(Thanks, Lily and Anna, for help with the ID. The Grasshopper Sparrow is a "threatened" species in Massachusetts, though this one is most likely a (very) late migrant passing through).
