Crisp facial markings make the White-throated Sparrow an attractive bird as well as a hopping, flying anatomy lesson. There’s the black eyestripe, the white crown and supercilium, the yellow lores, the white throat bordered by a black whisker, or malar stripe. They’re also a great entrée into the world of birdsong, with their pretty, wavering whistle of Oh-sweet-canada .
A herald of springs arrival; it will start to sing long before the robins arrive up there ;; a high,clear "ooh, Sweet Canada Canada Canada!" listen for it this spring! I miss them- don't have them down in Florida!:(
