The Field Sparrow’s numbers expanded as settlers cleared forests in eastern North America, but may have declined in more recent times. Despite this, it is a common species with a wide range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of “least concern”.

The Song Sparrows forage on the ground, in shrubs or in very shallow water. They mainly eat insects and seeds. Birds in salt marshes may also eat small crustaceans. They nest either in a sheltered location on the ground or in trees or shrubs. Song sparrows with areas of shrub cover in their territory, away from the intertidal coastline, have greater over-winter survival, as well higher reproductive success.

I’ve never heard of a sparrow that will forage in water, shallow or not. Thanks for again enlightening me, H.J, with your amazing knowledge!

That is when I knew I was really interested in birds-when I started to study the markings of the sparrows.
