The Saltmarsh Sparrow is a small bird native to the coastal salt marshes of the eastern United States. It has a distinctive appearance, featuring a brown and gray plumage with a streaked back and a short tail. This species primarily feeds on insects and seeds found in its marshy habitat. Saltmarsh Sparrows are known for their unique nesting behavior, building their nests on the ground among the dense vegetation of salt marshes. Unfortunately, they are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and rising sea levels, which threaten their breeding grounds in areas like the Atlantic Coast.
