Zonotrichia albicollis
White-throated Sparrows are brown above and gray below with a striking head pattern. The black-and-white-striped head is augmented by a bright white throat and yellow between the eye and the bill, which is gray. You’ll also see a less boldly marked form, known as “tan-striped,” with a buff-on-brown face pattern instead of white-on-black.
Found in woodsy suburb at tree edges.

Jemma they are super cute!! AshleyT I have only seen a hand full but this fall it seems they are all coming out hehe. I hope to capture some good shots of a white striped one soon :)
I think these guys are my favorite sparrow too! I haven't seen a ton of them, but I've only had one pose well for me, and he ended up being one of my most popular spottings since they are so pretty :)
