A Collage of Savannah Sparrows! This small flock of sparrows, three or four, led me on quite a chase. Every time I would get close enough to take a photo they would fly another six or so metres up the beach! Supposedly in our area we do have a subspecies, Passercullis sandwichensis brooksi. Their common name is Dwarf Savannah Sparrow. Really don’t know if these are those! Canada,Geotagged,Passerculus sandwichensis,Savannah sparrow Click/tap to enlarge
