The Sprague's Pipit is a field bird found on the central plains of North America. This shy bird is more likely to be seen when it is doing its courting aerials high up in the sky and singing at the same time. Otherwise, it remains out of view, when it is feeding in the tall grasses.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
