The Seaside Sparrow is a coastal specialist, adapted to life in saltwater marsh environments. It has a dusky, streaked plumage and a small yellow spot in front of the eye.
Where to spot
Found along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of North America, from New Hampshire south to Florida and west to Texas. It exclusively inhabits salt marshes, tidal creeks, and mangrove edges.
How to spot
Focus on salt marshes, particularly at higher tides when birds are pushed to exposed vegetation. Look for its dusky gray plumage, streaked breast, and a small yellow lore spot. Listen for its buzzy, frog-like song, often given from a low perch.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its coastal habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring and summer) and at high tide when forced to higher ground.
