おもしろい事実
Baby Vesper Sparrows grow super fast, leaving the nest in just 7-10 days, even before they can fly well!
Their name, "Vesper," means "evening," because they often sing their beautiful song as the sun sets.
They use a cool "double-scratch" move, kicking dirt with both feet at once to find buried snacks.
Wow! The Vesper Sparrow is the ONLY sparrow with white outer tail feathers, like a secret signal!
