2012 UPDATE
The swamp sparrow occurs throughout the state in shrubby wetlands and sedge meadows. They nest at all 5 viewing sites listed above. The survey methodology and survey locations changed in 2011, thus the decrease in the number of birds per point in 2011 and 2012 is probably due to change in survey locations rather than a decrease in the number of swamp sparrows.
Survey details and historical data can be found in the Wetland Species Overview section of the Wildlife Population Status and Hunting Forecast.
