White-throated Sparrow, April 8, 2020

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Click on the photo to see it at its best.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, April 2, 2020
White-throated Sparrows, Zonotrichia albicollis, are on the move, heading back north to their breeding grounds. I am delighted that a few stopped by my garden! They are rather plump Sparrows with round heads and long tails. White-throated Sparrows eat seeds and insects, and in the early Spring they may be seen eating newly-formed tree buds.

All my best birding areas are closed, so I hope more migrants stop here for me to photograph!

Hope you are having a good week!

    Hello, cute capture of the Sparrow. I am still seeing a lot of these birds in my yard, a Junco too. Take care, wishing you a happy day!

    The migrant White-throated Sparrows are arriving but a few of these hardy characters spend the winter here too.
