Description
Savannah Sparrows are able runners; once discovered, they drop into the grass and dart away.
It is named after Savannah, Georgia, where one of the first specimens of this bird was collected.
The "Ipswich Savannah Sparrow," a subspecies that breeds on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, is nearly 50 percent heavier than most other subspecies. It was formerly considered a separate species.
A group of sparrows has many collective nouns, including a "crew", "flutter", "meinie", "quarrel", and "ubiquity" of sparrows.
