The Swamp Sparrow is a small bird commonly found in wetlands across North America. It has a brown and gray plumage, with a distinctive streaked back and a short tail. This bird typically inhabits marshes, swamps, and dense vegetation near water, where it forages for seeds and insects. Swamp Sparrows are known for their melodic songs, especially during the breeding season. They are often seen foraging on the ground or in low shrubs, using their sharp eyesight to spot food. Their habitat preferences make them an important part of the wetland ecosystem, contributing to the biodiversity of these areas.
