Sparrow party!
It's a very sparrow-y morning! The air is full of the sound of Harris's Sparrows whistling their plaintive tune; Dark-eyed Juncos are calling back and forth with their little 'tsick' sound; and White-throated Sparrows are singing their classic song "poor Sam Peapody, Peabody, Peabody." Now is a good time to hone your bird identification skills in preparation for Project FeederWatch! Check out these and other sparrows on our Backyard Birds of Winter page. From there, follow the links to the Audubon Field Guide to listen to each bird's songs and calls.
