Tocuyo Sparrow - 30Jul2019

Have you ever been on a birding trip where the guides lead you to believe the bird you are about to see is critically endangered and super rare only to find out later they have a status of Least Concern and have stable populations?  Well in their defense it is apparently quite rare in Colombia but does have significant populations in Venezuela.  However, who knows when traveling to Venezuela will be a reality.  I was not too pleased with the looks and photos I obtained, but sometimes you just have to accept the skulkers will not cooperate.  Photographed in La Guajira, the dry scrubland next to Riohacha, Colombia.

Here was one of the juvenile sparrows.


An adult made a super fast run across a dirt path and this is all I got...  One day I shall return to crush these little guys.
