Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Texture, images that emphasize the tactile beauty of birds and their habitats: feathers, wood, water, stone, and natural patterns.

Lark Sparrows (Chondestes grammacus) are grassland and shrubland birds. They nest low, from on the ground to only about 4.5 feet high. And they are one of my favorite sparrows! #birds #ecology #nesting

Lark Sparrow (Chondestes grammacus) 08 June 2025. Fort Simcoe, Yakima, Washington, USA. A unique well marked sparrow of arid grasslands in the interior of the American West. An adult showing a complex chestnut head pattern. The only member of the genus Chondestes. Of the two subspecies , this is presumably the western "C. g. strigatus" characterized by slightly paler overall coloration, narrower back streaks, and reduced black in the face.
