Just posted on the White-throated Sparrow not too long ago and here I go again. Can't help it--so many of them around and this time I caught an almost "good" photo. Too bad I clipped his bill in the shot.
I also wanted to share a great birding web site (Audubon, Seattle) . . .

- - - which provides a perfect image of his crisp white throat and white striped head. But as the description points out, there are two color morphs for this sparrow--a white and tan morph. Thus you're as likely to see one as the other. Looks like a caught the image of a white morph, though I've seen the tan morph in my yard.
I also like Audubon's range map. It's more visible than Cornell's (All About Birds), though neither provide a blow-up large enough for my eyes, except for the state map of Washington. Must check to see if Audubon has a comparable site for Pennsylvania.
Till next time . . . Keep bird in your heart!
