. . . . . . . "IUCN3.1" . . "The Le Conte\u2019s sparrow (Ammodramus leconteii) is one of the smallest sparrow species in North America.It is a very secretive bird that prefers to spend most of its time on the ground under the cover of tall grasses. They are typically very difficult to flush, often only flushing at a distance of 1\u20133 m as they prefer to run across the ground. When they do emerge they rarely fly more than a foot or two above the grass and often descend again within a few meters."@en . "LC" . .
