This species has a cryptic plumage, providing excellent camouflage in its open grassland habitat. Sprague's Pipits forage for insects and seeds on the ground, using their long hind claws to walk and run through the grasses. They are known for their impressive long-distance migrations, traveling from their breeding grounds in North America to wintering areas in the southern United States and Mexico.
