KJS-LES Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 NYC, 11/8/18. Bird was in total shade. Is the pinkish color, which is just as I saw it, normal for Swamp Sparrows? Thanks, Kami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yep, looks like a normal Swamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJS-LES Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Good to know, thanks. I saw several Swamp Sparrows at different times in October. None of them had this coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Color in some cases depends on the individual bird. Swamp Sparrows have a lot of variation in my experience- bright birds, more dull birds and some inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
