Species: White-throated Sparrow
Most recent capture date: 12/28/2022
Notes: Another one of these treat sparrows! (Birds Of The World notes below its range map, discouragingly: “Species is present only at very low densities in the western wintering range shown.”) Someone told this bird that any outfit should have an attention-grabbing element and he went for four of them just to be safe: chestnut head stripes, white throat, gold on the forehead, and yellow at the wrists (yes, they seem like they should be shoulders but they are the bird’s wrists). Doesn’t that white throat look like a bowtie?
