Swamp Sparrow

[Debora Diggins]

We’ve had the pleasure of a visiting swamp sparrow for the past few days. Our backyard consists of mature suburban landscape with not a swamp in sight. The bird has been coming to feed on seeds that are falling onto our deck from our feeder which is just a few feet away, for a close-up view. It has also been visiting the ground under the thistle feeder in the backyard.
