White-throated Sparrow, Little Maquoketa River Valley near Durango, Iowa
Winter was telling us today that is not over yet by letting it snow pretty much all day. As a result we had a lot of activities around our bird feeders. It was a nice surprise to see a White-throated Sparrow, who visited several times. We are at the northern edge of their winter range according to my field guides, but it is the first time that we have seen one in February. Other years my earliest photos were made in April.
It’s not a tack sharp image but I thought I show it anyway, because beside photography my blog has always been about sharing wildlife encounters and locations.
