Pretty White Throated Sparrow perches on a branch near the bird feeder with warm autumn color background and a bit of added texture as well as a fantastic painted effect. Wonderful for any wall in your home or office or perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, from photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases. Debbie Portwood :D.....................Crisp facial markings make the White-throated Sparrow an attractive bird as well as a hopping, flying anatomy lesson. There�s the black eyestripe, the white crown and supercilium, the yellow lores, the white throat bordered by a black whisker, or malar stripe. They�re also a great entr�e into the world of birdsong, with their pretty, wavering whistle of Oh-sweet-canada. These forest sparrows breed mostly across Canada, but they�re familiar winter birds across most of eastern and southern North America and California. Size & Shape - The White-throated Sparrow is a large, full-bodied sparrow with a fairly prominent bill, rounded head, long legs, and long, narrow tail. Color Pattern - White-throated Sparrows are brown above and gray below with a striking head pattern. The black-and-white-striped head is augmented by a bright white throat and yellow between the eye and the bill, which is gray. You�ll also see a less boldly marked form, known as �tan-striped,� with a buff-on-brown face pattern instead of white-on-black.
Behavior - White-throated Sparrows stay near the ground, scratching through leaves in search of food, often in flocks. You may see them low in bushes as well, particularly in spring when they eat fresh buds. White-throated Sparrows sing their distinctive songs frequently, even in winter. Habitat - Look for White-throated Sparrows in woods, at forest edges, in the regrowth that follows logging or forest fires, at pond and bog edges, and in copses near treeline. In winter you can find these birds in thickets, overgrown fields, parks, and woodsy suburbs. They readily come to backyards for birdseed.More great information on this or any other bird can be found at www.allaboutbirds.org
