[Tweeters] Old Sam Peabody

[J. Acker]

Hey Tweeters,

Its that time of year again.  I am hearing “Old Sam Peabody”  and I know that means that the White-throated sparrows that have been in the neighborhood for the winter will be leaving very soon.  I will miss them.  The first arrived at the feeder in early October and the second in mid-January.  Both were tan morphs at the time, but have since seemingly molted.  One still looks like a tan morph, though the white is brighter but it looks rather ragged, as if it just took a bath.  The second now has bright yellow lores and bright white eye stripes, though the median crown still appears tan. Safe travels!
