Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow

They are never supposed to be this cooperative, but this adult male Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow (now called Nelson's Sparrow) was singing on the reed-covered fence line at Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge. Probably helped that at the time there were two males there, so competition for this small piece of habitat was relatively fierce.
