White-throated Sparrow: Oh Sweet Canada!
… ContinueThis 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

This video is a tool to introduce our partners, field practitioners, and the general public to the step-by-step process of preparing, deploying, and retrieving Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) for bird and biodiversity monitoring. ARUs are an emerging technology that allows conservation teams to collect continuous, high-quality acoustic data across large landscapes while reducing costs. By walking viewers through practical field techniques, key equipment considerations, and best practices for data collection, this video aims to serve as an accessible starting point for anyone interested in using ARUs to advance biodiversity research,
