White-throated Sparrow: Oh Sweet Canada!

This YouTube video was produced by the American Bird Conservancy.

The large, stocky White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is a familiar sight in backyards and around bird feeders across the eastern United States from late fall to mid-spring, and its trilling “Oh Sweet Canada” song rings out all through winter. Adults have bright yellow lores (the space between the eye and the bill), which add a touch of color to the winter landscape during its nonbreeding season. Striped crowns and whitish or white throats are other important identification features.

Also known as: Peabody Bird, Loneliness Bird, White-throat
