Nelson's Sparrow! Would be a world lifer. Gonna check some good habitat in Western Missouri prairies on the eBird October Big Day (Saturday the 11th). 🤞

That I've been to, I would lean towards Yellowstone....but Rocky Mountain is completely awesome in the summer breeding season too.

I think overall, even though I haven't been there, Big Bend is the best one. Incredible diversity with I believe the largest species list for a U.S. National Park.
