Swamp Sparrow: ISO 640, 539mm, f/8, 1/500

Happy Canada Day!

I went for a walk at a local park. We are a short distance from Lock 1 of the Trent Severn Waterway (Parks Canada).

The weather is hot and humid after a rainfall last night.

I noticed this little bird coming in and out from the brush along the river shore. My guess was that she had some young ones to feed. This is a Swamp Sparrow.

I had originally thought it was a Song Sparrow but upon closer inspection of a larger screen, I saw I was wrong.
