Savannah Sparrow - Boundary Bay, BC
A sure sign of spring is the trilly voice of the Savannah sparrow coming from somewhere close to the ground or a fence post highest. One of the places that we see a good many of these sparrows is our coastal dunes or dykes. This bird was photographed on Boundary Bay, named for the US-Canadian border that runs through the middle of it. For the rest of the year, a quick glimpse is usually all you get while they check pathways and roadsides for seeds.
