White-throated Sparrow

White-throated Sparrow Zonotrichia albicollis
29 April 2013

    We were very happy indeed to have this adult White-throated Sparrow, clad in all its nuptial finery, visit our back yard yesterday. It seems fitting that it first revealed its presence with its Sweet Canada Canada song. 


     Later in the day an immature bird arrived also and joined the adult feeding on the ground.

Who knows what may show up today?
