Marshland birds are species that inhabit wetlands, including swamps, bogs, and marshes. These birds are adapted to living in areas with shallow water and dense vegetation. Common examples include herons, egrets, and rails, which often rely on these habitats for feeding, nesting, and shelter. These birds play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to control insect populations and dispersing seeds. They often have specialized feeding techniques, such as wading in water or probing mud for food. Protecting marshland habitats is essential for the survival of these unique bird species.
