Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana)
- HABITAT - As the name suggests, Swamp Sparrows live in fresh water marshes and swamps across the Northeast, Midwest USA and much of Canada
- DIET - Swamp Sparrows feed mostly on insects. They also eats seeds, especially in fall and winter, including those of grasses, weeds, and sedges..
- FACTS -Swamp Sparrows may look a little drab but their song is a sweet accompaniment to spring mornings in boreal bogs and sedge swamps. The Swamp Sparrow has longer legs than other members of its genus; this adaptation allows it to wade into shallow water to forage. This species has been known to stick its head under the water to try to capture aquatic invertebrates.
