Spizella passerina
This is my last spotting of a bird in South Dakota. This small gray brown chipping sparrow has a clear gray chest, rusty crown, white eyebrows with a black eye line. Has a thin gray black bill and two faint wing bars. Female same as male.
You can find chipping sparrows in open woodlands and forests with grassy clearings across North America. This particular sparrow was spotted in a tree located in a campground within the Black Hills National Forest in Keystone, South Dakota.
