Description

Nelson's (Sharp-Tailed) Sparrow

Last weekend I got to work with a leading scientist in the study of subspecies distribution of Nelson's and Saltmarsh Sparrows. We mistnetted and banded several birds in the brackish marshes of the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Wow, you're a lucky duck, that sounds cool! Was this bird one of your subjects? He/she looks pretty chill. Awesome job on the hand by the way, I know those always the hardest thing to draw.
