Baird's Sparrow
Baird's Sparrow is a small grassland bird native to North America, primarily found in the Great Plains. It prefers open, native prairie habitats with tall grasses and minimal disturbance. Recognizable by its brownish streaked appearance and distinctive song, it forages mainly on the ground for seeds and insects. Baird's Sparrow is considered a species of concern due to habitat loss from agriculture, invasive grasses, and development. Protecting its prairie habitat is vital for its survival, making conservation efforts important to maintain its populations.
