A new returing bird buddy today in Bird Alley
I acknowledge this is not a good picture but it will serve as my record of a returned White-throated Sparrow today in Bird Alley. I had just mentioned to my husband, David, yesterday that we hadn't seen any white-throateds yet this spring. Today when I glimpsed the two white stripes on its crown in the bushes, I immmediately hopped it was a longed for White-crowned Sparrow but when getting a glimpse of its vivid yellow lores, I knew it to be a White-throated Sparrow. Its maybe a bit early for a White-crowwn sparrow yet. Perhaps I won't get any good pictures tomorrow either as a snow storm is forecast!!!!! Yes, snow!!!! Enough already!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwK2EZKC-n9-n9twL2wzyfj4pah77b5wKZ2FLu7lmKOeGlsfk9UXG5igoPDR7g6RXkEGsh5_Qfn2u3YjjfiSdufZmIefOpvZCd_vzC95FmHw9PterWVV5510ispm5NxM6llRK3KQ/s280/white+throated+sparrow+one.JPG)
This weather forcast is getting a bit old don't you think? We're expecting a thunder storm tonight and then below freezing tomorrow night. No White throated sparrows here yet. I'm still looking.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't get too much of the white stuff.
