A Savannah Sparrow for Camera Critters
It has been several years since I have seen a Savannah Sparrow in Bird Alley, but this week I have had one or two feeding there. I didn't really see it until I had downloaded some pictures of what I had thought was a White-throated sparrow. I had been confused as both sparrow species have yellow lores and a white throat ( the savannah's white throat is not as noticeable as the White throated sparrow and the white median on the head of the savannah is not as strong as that of a white throated. You can see by comparing the pictures that I post. My first picture is of a Savannah Sparrow and you can see its yellow lores ( the region between the eye and the bill on the side of the bird's head.)

Hello, wonderful sighting of the Savannah Sparrow. They are pretty. Great series of photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Sparrows are birds I have a hard time telling apart. Thanks for this quick lesson. I saw a White-throated Sparrow in Tennessee (USA), but don't think I've seen the Savannah Sparrow
Have a great week-end!
