This sparrow, only slightly smaller than the white-crown (AOU 554), has sufficient resemblance to it to mislead the novice in bird-watching. The distinct white patch on the throat and the yellow lores (space between the eyes and the bill); will allay any doubts .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a handsome bird and a good singer: Bian alludes to its \u201cclear ringing whistle.\u201d Some translate the whistle as \u201cPoor Bill Peabody, Peabody, Peabody,\u201d whence the vocalist is sometimes called the \u201cPeabody-bird.\u201d Others, more pessimistic, assert that it utters \u201cHard -times- Canada-Canada-Canada!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quoting my own records I have seen three White-throats fro every single White crown so far observed. I would therefore class the white-throat as \u201ca common summer resident, breeding here.\u201d The nest is made on the ground or, more rarely, in small bushes. The eggs are pale greenish blue, thickly spotted brown. The range of the White-throat is from the the northern range of trees, to its wintering place in the southern U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
