After a couple of weeks of quizzes with birds that are mostly shades of brown, for this time we'll round just a touch of color. The answer to last week's quiz was Lark Sparrow (Chondestes grammacus).

Though I haven't been writing much lately due to other distractions, others have been, so don't forget that, being Friday, John over at A D.C. Birding Blog has another edition of Loose Feathers posted. And the 82nd edition of I and the Bird is being hosted by Sycamore Canyon. I do have a couple of things to post, I just need to find time to work it around other projects I have happening.
