Went back to the grasslands Thursday evening, trying again for the elusive Grasshopper Sparrow. I don't use audio to attract birds in their breeding grounds, but played the song quietly on the iPhone to show my wife what it was we should be listening for, and this guy popped up out of nowhere. He flew off and buried himself in the grass, but after a few minutes flew across the path to the side with better light, and posed for just a second. Removed a few distracting twigs; fairly large crop.
