Savannah Sparrow

Passerculus sandwichensis

It lives in grasslands, but the name isn't about savannas: it's for Savannah, Georgia, where Alexander Wilson observed it in 1811. The second half of its scientific name, sandwichensis, is for Sandwich Sound in Alaska, now Prince William Sound.

Passerculus means 'little sparrow'; sandwichensis is for Sandwich Sound, now Prince William Sound.
