During my travels in Montana earlier this month I saw loads of Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis<\/em>) and although there were many in southwestern Montana I only photographed the ones on the farm in Glacier County.<\/p>\n

The Savannah Sparrows were hanging out in an area between an old granary and a fence that was at the edge of a pasture. They would flit from the fence to the ground to feed which is where I photographed the sparrow in the image above.<\/p>\n

Savannah Sparrows are named after Savannah, Georgia since one of the first collected specimens was found there though throughout the year Savannah’s can be found in most of North America.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/span> good.<\/p>\n
