Oh Sweet Canada

I found some fun facts about these birds for my 365 friends in Canada. :0)

The White-throated Sparrow arrives in Tennessee in early October and departs by mid-May. It can often be heard singing its Oh Sweet Canada Canada Canada song. Canada is also where it breeds, from the Yukon to Newfoundland south to the northeastern United States. In the winter, it is found in the eastern half of the United States south to northern Mexico, with some birds wintering along the Pacific Coast.

Thank you for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's Nuthatch pic! Just a little nutty describes the pic and me. :0)

[Rick Schies]

Great info Carolyn. We have so many of their cousins around our place. We cannot keep the feeders full.

Cute fluff ball of a bird. I haven't seen many of these here on the West coast, most of the Winter Sparrows are White or Golden-crowned where I've been birding. Nice capture.

[richard saffold]

they certainly get around.

[Chrissie]

Such a cutie!

[Brad Johnson]

Beautifully framed little cutie.

[Anna Mae Andrews]

Breast feathers look so soft. You really get the texture (and sometimes emotions) of the birds you photograph.

[BeckyS]

Very pretty.

Your bird photos are stunning, If i did not like my macro lens so much I would definitely have invested in a 300mm after seeing all your bird photos.
