Swamp Sparrow


Melospiza georgiana

Swamp Sparrows are known to stick their heads completely underwater to catch aquatic insects.
The legs of a Swamp Sparrow are longe than other members of its genus,
allowing it to wade in the shallow water of its swampy habitat.

Fortunately, the population of the species remains stable or is increasing. Encyclopedia of Life
