Swamp Sparrow

Are you on the fence about going outdoors this weekend? Just do it! Listen to the Swamp Sparrow and enjoy some fresh air.

Swamp Sparrows can sometimes be difficult to photograph, but no one told this bird that it was not supposed to be captured this way! Those brush piles can be very productive at this time of year. Make sure to have one or two in your yard this winter, especially if you have bird feeders nearby. They provide cover and a great photographic opportunity.

This Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) was one of several that I enjoyed seeing this past Monday as the species moves through wet, grassy habitats on the way south. Autumn migration is in constant motion this week with a moderate flight nearly every night. You’ll end up seeing some of the same little faces every day with a few news ones sprinkled in. This upcoming Sunday looks like it may be a terrific day to be outside for us and for the birds. What could be better than walking outdoors and enjoying lovely little creatures like this one?

Have you found your first of spring Swamp Sparrow yet? They may be found even if those swamps still have ice and snow in them…but any coastal or wet area will also do for now.
