}}Ammodramus is a genus of birds in the family Passerellidae, in the group known as American sparrows. Birds of this genus are known commonly as Grassland sparrows.[1] The name Ammodramus is from the Greek for "sand runner".[2]

These birds live in grassland habitat. Some Ammodramus are socially monogamous and both parents care for the young. Other species are polygynous with no pair bonding and no paternal care.[3]

Numerous species have been included in this genus, but have been reclassified into different genera by sources such as Birdlife International. Former and current species in this genus include:[1][4][5]

Species

  • Grasshopper sparrow, Ammodramus savannarum
  • Grassland sparrow, Ammodramus humeralis
  • Yellow-browed sparrow, Ammodramus aurifrons
  • Seaside sparrow, Ammospiza maritima
    • Dusky seaside sparrow, Ammospiza maritima nigrescens (extinct, 1987)
    • Cape Sable seaside sparrow, Ammospiza maritima mirabilis
  • Nelson's sparrow, Ammospiza nelsoni
  • Saltmarsh sparrow, Ammospiza caudacutus
  • LeConte's sparrow, Ammospiza leconteii
  • Henslow's sparrow, Ammodramus henslowii
  • Baird's sparrow, Ammodramus bairdii

The fossil Ammodramus hatcheri (Late Miocene of Kansas, United States) was formerly placed in genus Palaeospiza or Palaeostruthus. The former may not be a passeriform at all, while the latter was eventually synonymized with Ammodramus, as A. hatcheri scarcely differs from the living species.[6]
