The '''Harris's Sparrow''', ''Zonotrichia querula'', is a large [[American sparrow|sparrow]].
Their breeding habitat is the north part of central [[Canada]] (primarily the [[Northwest Territories]], ranging a bit into northern [[Manitoba]]). In fact, this bird is Canada's only endemic breeder. In the winter they [[bird migration|migrate]] to the [[Great Plains]] states of the [[United States]], from lower [[South Dakota]] to upper [[Texas]].
The common name of this species commemorates the American amateur ornithologist [[Edward Harris (ornithologist)|Edward Harris]] (1799–1863).
