#white throated sparrow

[todaysbird]

the white-throated sparrow is a small passerine bird that breeds in northern north america, wintering in the southern united states. the species is known for four distinct sexes that have different breeding behavior than most birds; there are two morphs, ‘white-striped’ and ‘tan-striped’, and almost always, opposites attract - white-striped individuals pair almost entirely with tan-striped individuals and vice versa. these birds primarily feed by foraging on the ground, and eat seeds, insects, and berries; their varied diet may include blackberries, grapes, and rose hips, along with being a frequent visitor of backyard birdfeeders.

It's always great when new birds appear, especially after the bird drought I had here for months now… (I still put my photo setup out every day but there are only Blue Jays, MoDos and Chickadees right now.) The White-throated Sparrows visit in the mornings. They are such pretty birds, and it is nice to see them up close. Have a great Thursday!

a white throated sparrow nest. though this actually won the poll, I decided to carve the nest instead of decorating the large bowl with it

White-throated sparrows have two color morphs each with their own behavioral patterns.

Cardi babies and White-throated Sparrows from yesterday. The Cardinals have done really well this season, these two are new! (I added music to this because this camera does not have a good micro and there was practically no sound at all.) Have a great Monday, everyone!
