Song Sparrow foraging on ground

The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is especially delightful this time of year as the season is changing. I think I love the smells the best as I first start walking from the Visitor Center to the West Pond. Each step brings a new scent with the smell of the salt water everpresent blending in.
The Song Sparrows are present at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge year round. Their beautiful song is always a treat. I took the picture of this Song Sparrow just as I entered the West Pond path. He was busy foraging on the ground and paid absolutely no attention to me and my camera.
