Swamp Sparrow

The habits of this sparrow have led to a healthy population that appears to have few problems maintaining their numbers.

Lincoln's Sparrow - (Melospiza lincolnii)

Swamp Sparrow - (Melospiza georgiana)

Rio Grande Nature Center (State Park) - Fall 2023

A comparison between two species. I used to get them mixed up a lot when I started birding, despite the very clear difference between their belly plumage. The Lincoln's Sparrow (solo, on the left) is full of streaks along its chest and flanks, and between the streaks is a wonderful buffy band of color. The Swamp Sparrow (on the right) has an indistinct "smudge" of gray, with almost no streaking present. Swamp Sparrow also have a more rich, reddish tone to their wing and back feathers, and more gray to their face than Lincoln's.

These two species, as well as the Song Sparrow, make up the genus Melospiza. With Song Sparrow being near cosmopolitan in frequency, it's then a bit ironic that Lincoln's Sparrow are more common in the West, and Swamp Sparrow are more common in the East.

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share these images was given by Rio Grande Bird Research, Inc. (Instagram: @ birdbanderdude_nm)

What are you doing in my swamp, sparrow?! Today we received several different songbirds including this caught-caught Swamp Sparrow with a broken leg. We have splinted the leg and we hope with time and medication the fracture will heal successfully. As their name suggests, this bird species lives in wetlands with tall reed-y vegetation for them to hide in. A paper published in 2018 (Lachlan et al.) found that much like how human cultural quirks are passed down from one generation to the next, the song of Swamp Sparrows has remained constant for generations — possibly up to 1,000 years. Instead of embracing novel variations in song, Swamp Sparrows instead conform to the singing of older birds and over time refine their song to resemble the style of songs that they hear most often. Like humans, these song-traditions do vary slightly by location — just like how family traditions may change slightly when you move to a new area — but this bias towards conformity has kept the song of this sparrow practically the same in every wetland for generation after generation.

Swamp Sparrow

The wild places are full of migrating sparrows. This Swamp Sparrow seemed annoyed. Perhaps the lack of wet areas due to our dry spell had something to do with that.
