Le Conte's Sparrow 5 inches
This is a secretive bird. You can watch for the Le Conte's sparrow as you walk the wet grasslands - its preferred nesting habitat - but you may hear it first. This is because, when disturbed, the Le Conte's sparrow is quite likely to scamper through the grass instead of taking flight. You may also see a Le Conte's sparrow perched on a tall tuft of grass, claiming its breeding territory by singing a fine, insect-like song: tik a t-sshhhhhhhhhh-t.
