We found this beautiful Clay-colored Sparrow in a local preserve the other day. A lifer for me. He's rare in these parts, Central NJ. He's found in the scrublands of the northern prairie and Great Plains. They often flock with other species, also up into Canada and south to Mexico. They have a unique buzzy song. C&C welcome.
