Ammodramus savannarum
Song 1 - normal
Song 2 - with a warble on the end of it
The Grasshopper Sparrow has a short tail, complete eye ring, white median crown stripe, large
beak that comes straight off the head giving almost a roman-nosed appearance, streaking
on the nape of the neck, and an orange spot in the adult above and just forward of the eye.
This sparrow had two songs--one normal and the other ending with a warble. Very pretty.
