Grasshopper Sparrow

The Grasshopper Sparrow is an uncommon breeder in the Chicago Wilderness Region and fairly common farther south. Updated BCN trends continue to show a significant decrease in the CW Region. As predicted in the last analysis in 2007, records of this species have now fallen below those of Henslow's Sparrow, formerly the rarer of the two species. This species can often be found in moderate to dry grasslands. Photo: © Heather Secker
