I was setting at the window this afternoon reading about
sparrows when Whitey flew up to the suet feeder. I was reminded that I had
posted a photo of him before. I had to
look it up, but it was the post of December 3rd. The photo in today’s
post was actually taken back on November 21st, so you get the idea; we
have been keeping track of him for a while. Whitey got his name from the unusual “white
collar” look to his plumage that makes him easy to recognize. We see him daily,
or at the least three or four times a week.
It’s not often you get to see the same bird consistently enough to name
it, in fact I think Whitey is the first one we have ever named. We see lots of
Juncos daily, but never have a clue if they are the same ones or different
ones. Whitey we recognize and it’s kind of fun. Pictured below is a normal
looking Song Sparrow for comparison.
