Passerculus Sandwichensis
The Passerculus sandwichensis, commonly known as the Savannah Sparrow, is a small bird found across North America. It typically inhabits grasslands, fields, and marshes, where it forages for seeds and insects. The species is characterized by its streaked brown plumage, a short tail, and a distinctive yellow patch above its eye.
Savannah Sparrows are known for their melodic songs, especially during the breeding season. They build their nests on the ground, often hidden among grasses to protect their eggs from predators. This adaptable bird plays a vital role in its ecosystem by helping to control insect populations and dispersing seeds.
