Ol’ Sam Peabody, Peabody Peabody. That’s how my dear friend Edith Tatum described their song to me.
I agree with Will. The White-throated sp was the bird, 25 years ago, that made it so I couldn’t put my binoculars down. I’ll never forget the thrill of seeing those yellow eyebrows – those were the words I used to describe what I saw.
That’s what got me hooked.

White-throated Sparrow is one of the most abundant birds in North and South Carolina from about October through early May, most numerous from November through March. Though often underappreciated by experienced birders, it's always exciting for beginning backyard birders to see one under or at their feeders!
