THE COASTAL PLAIN SWAMP SPARROW JON BEADELL,'4 RUSSELL GREENBERG,25 SAM DROEGE,' AND J. ANDREW ROYLE3 ABSTRACT.-We examined the distribution and abundance of the Coastal Plain Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana nigrescens) at previously occupied sites and points within potential habitat. Their clear, mellifluous trills resonate through wetlands from central Canada to the eastern United States, where Swamp Sparrows are fairly common but often hidden among aquatic plants. English: Swamp Sparrow Czech: strnadec mokřadní German: Sumpfammer Danish: Sumpspurv Spanish: … In addition to describing differences in song characteristics, we performed an estimate of local song type diversity that predicted larger population repertoires in M. g. nigrescens. The Swamp Sparrow breeds from the Northwest Territories and eastern British Columbia east to Newfoundland and south to Nebraska, Iowa, the Great Lakes states, West Virginia, and Maryland.
: Swamp Sparrow . The vocalization is a slow trill, slower than the Chipping Sparrow, with the notes slow enough to count.

Swamp Sparrow Calling - Duration: 0:51. The species winters in the southeastern United States from New England and the Great Lake states south to Texas, Mexico and Northern Florida. The southern edge of their breeding range coincides largely with the Line of Maximum Glaciation. Their face is gray with a dark line through the eye. White-throated Sparrow Sings - 4k - Duration: 2:04. Species geographical distribution by countries. Breeds in cattail marshes and other wetlands; found in a vareity of shrubby habitats during migration and winter, but often in wet areas. Methods and Principal Findings. The breeding range has been considered to extend from the Nanticoke River in Maryland north to the Hudson River. A small number of morphologically distinct birds inhabit tidal marshes from northern Virginia to the Hudson River Estuary. Typically not in flocks with other sparrows. We found Swamp Spar-rows throughout their formerly documented range … They do not provide with precise location but only give an idea of … Swamp Sparrows are generally solitary birds except during migration, when they often join loose, mixed-species flocks.

The Coastal Plain Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana nigrescens) is morphologically distinct, restricted to a narrowly-defined habitat type, and geographically isolated within the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. A vivid rusty cap and wings, combined with subtler browns, grays, buff, and … Breast is plain gray; immatures sometimes show faint, blurry streaks. Adults have streaked rusty, buff and black upperparts with an unstreaked gray breast, light belly and a white throat.
Their clear, mellifluous trills resonate through wetlands from central Canada to the eastern United States, where Swamp Sparrows are fairly common but often hidden among aquatic plants. Boxplots provide a quick visual of the distribution of the variable importance from the random forest models from all 147 species (black boxplot) and how each species fits into the overall distribution (cyan line). Predictor Importance for Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) Relative to All Species. The box encompasses from the 25th to the 75th percentile of the data. The wings are strikingly rusty. Most males and a few females have a rust-colored caps. The Swamp Sparrow has a large range, estimated globally at 6,000,000 square kilometers. Swamp Sparrows provide sweet accompaniment to spring mornings in boreal bogs, sedge swamps, cattail marshes, and wet brushy meadows. Geographic range: Melospiza georgiana georgiana: N Dak.
Distribution maps should be very cautiously looked at. nigrescens) Swamp Sparrow males in Maryland and Delaware, respectively, and analyzed variation in syllable composition, repertoire size, trill rate, and frequency bandwidth. Slightly smaller than Song Sparrow, looks duller and blurrier overall. Swamp Sparrows provide sweet accompaniment to spring mornings in boreal bogs, sedge swamps, cattail marshes, and wet brushy meadows. 0:51. The southern edge of their breeding range coincides largely with the Line of Maximum Glaciation. The coastal plain swamp sparrow, a recent colonist of tidal marsh habitat, differs from conspecific populations in a variety of phenotypic traits yet remains undifferentiated in neutral DNA.
