White-throated Sparrow
(Zonatrichia albicollis)
Our first White-throated Sparrow of spring arrived in the backyard on Friday of this week.   The White-throated Sparrow is one of the species believed to be particularly at risk from building collisions, which scientists now estimate kills up to a billion birds a year in the United States.   This is just one more reason to be happy that some of them visit our backyards in King Township.
Please comment if you wish.
