Whitecrown Sparrow

In April when Whitethroats are feeding twenty feet from my window I keep a sharp eye on them hoping to see a WHITECROWN among the flock. There are not many times when luck heads my way but there are always a few each year altho eastern Dutchess County is off their migration route. The song is notably different altho keyed in the same plaintive quality.

Range

Eastern British provinces and greater part of United States.
