Swamp Sparrows are elusive and quick. Their non-breeding colors are not flashy and help them hide as they hunt along the marsh edge.
If you are fortunate enough to see one land, he might hold still long enough for a photo.
This one actually flipped direction giving me both a left and right profile. The reed foliage is drying up, giving more spotting opportunities than a month ago.
Lovely photos Ellen. A cooperative little bird too.
Thanks, Belinda! I was quite pleased when one finally showed himself for a few moments.
