===Habitat=== LeConte's sparrow prefers moist open grassy areas with sufficient vegetation cover to provide shelter. Known habitat use includes meadows, fields, crop stubble, shallow marshy edges, prairie, and occasionally fens and lake-shores within the boreal forest.<ref name="Manitoba Naturalists"/> Studies have shown that vegetation seems to have a greater impact on the abundance of this bird than other factors like climate or patch size.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Winter, M.|author2=J.A.
