White-Throated Sparrow

Had a new visitor at the feeder this weekend and it was new for my yard - a white-throated sparrow. It seems that these birds summer in Canada and only pass through Indiana on their way there. How nice of them to stop and munch on the seeds in my feeders! According to Birdweb, despite still being fairly common, the numbers of these birds are declining. How sad. I love the little yellow spot on them that really glistens in the spring as they prepare for breeding. Known as one of the handsomest sparrows, I certainly hope we see a rebound in their numbers. I love to hear their Peabody Peabody call.
