20/52 White-throated sparrow - a photo on Flickriver

            The water has receded from our yard and field, and the migratory waterfowl have moved on, so I spent this week photographing the sparrows that have been migrating in.  I used to think a sparrow was a sparrow was a sparrow, I had no idea how many different sparrows there are!  White-throated are known for their characteristic song, said to sound like "Old Sam Peabody Peabody" or, if you are Canadian "Oh Canada Canada Canada".  To me it doesn't sound quite like either of those, but it certainly is distinctive!
