Zonotrichia albicollis
This white-throated sparrow was the victim of a window collision in East Atlanta, a fairly wooded in-town neighborhood in Atlanta.
These birds winter in the southeast US.
It lived!

Hello Shannon Finck and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/216... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
Welcome to Project Noah, Shannon. A great first spotting. I've not seen one of these little guys before, so cheers for the introduction. So glad to hear the bird survived. Here's an awesome reference link you may like to add to the reference field. Wikipedia is usually a good reference as well. https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird... I hope you enjoy the site :)
