The Savannah Sparrow’s name sounds like a nod to its fondness for grassy areas, but this species was actually named by famed nineteenth century ornithologist Alexander Wilson for a specimen collected in Savannah, Georgia.
A female Savannah Sparrow must gather 10 times her weight in food to feed herself and her young during the 8 days they are in the nest. Cornell All About Birds
