I made a quick stop at Pease in Newington today and saw two beautiful Grasshopper Sparrows. It got me wondering, do they actually nest in New Hampshire? From what I found online, it does not seem like it?
At first, I thought the bird on the rock was a juvenile. The one on the pole was acting like it might feed the bird on the rock fluttering its wings like it was begging. Then I watched the bird from the pole fly down into the grass and then over to the fence without the worm. After that, the other bird grabbed a bug and flew into the grass.
I decided to leave after that, just in case there was a nest nearby.
