[va-bird] One-legged Grasshopper Sparrow

While driving around the western edge of Albemarle County late this 
morning, I came across a Grasshopper Sparrow perched atop fence rail with 
only one leg.  Didn't seem to slow it down any; in fact, after several 
minutes of firing off its insect-like buzz followed by rolling jumbled 
phrases, it flew across the road in pursuit of what I presumed to be a 
female carrying nesting material.

Below is link to few pics of the one-legged sparrow.
