Nelson's Sparrow

Ammospiza nelsoni

Nelson's sparrow (Ammospiza nelsoni) is a small New World sparrow. This bird was named after Edward William Nelson, an American naturalist. Formerly, this bird and the saltmarsh sparrow were considered to be a single species, the sharp-tailed sparrow; because of this it was briefly known as Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrow.
