I’m a big fan of sparrows and of all the sparrows we get in Texas the Grasshopper Sparrow is one of my favorites. This one really gave me a thrill at the end of May when I heard him singing near the auto-loop at Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR. It didn’t take long to spot him on his “singing perch” bathed in early morning light. It was a perfect start to a great day.
