Song Sparrow, Back Creek Marsh, Kennebunk ME

There don’t seem to be as many Song Sparrows nesting on the dunes between the Back Creek Marsh and the ocean as there have been in some years, but they are there. I suspect it has to do with our late spring. The Yellow Warblers that are often nesting with them are, as far as I can see, totally missing this year. Hard to say exactly why. Yesterday we had a high wind and this Song Sparrow was singing from such a low perch I could not spot it before it flew out into the Sea Grass where dune meets marsh. It popped its head up just long enough for a few shots. 🙂
