The grasshopper sparrow, Ammodramus savannarum, has a very restricted range in British Columbia, breeding only on certain grasslands of the Okanagan and immediately adjacent valleys. The breeding population is apparently under 50 pairs. This report describes the sparrow's general biology, habitat, geographic distribution, population size and trends, protection under the law, factors limiting expansion of its population, and the significance of the species. The report concludes with recommendations for further research and management options to preserve and enhance the species in the province.
