White-Throated Sparrow by jyokota

White-Throated Sparrow

While out birding at the Jarvis Bird Sanctuary, @jbird56 and I heard the most amazing birdsong and couldn't identify it so we recorded it on our phones. When meeting a hard-core birder who knew much more than I did, we asked her to listen -- and she identified the song. Then last night when I uploaded my photos, it turns out that what I thought was a White-Crowned Sparrow is instead, THE singing White-Throated Sparrow. The yellow markings are the giveaway. Oh, so much to learn about birds.

Terrific image and great explanation of the research to sort out what it was. It's interesting to me to learn how many different sparrows there are.
