White-throated sparrow in the snow

White-throated sparrow in the snow (Zonotrichia albicollis)

Connecticut's first snowfall of the year didn't deter this white-throated sparrow from trying to pick off seeds. Now that the seeding plants are done and because this species prefers to forage on the ground, this is probably the last I'm going to see of them this year.

I think it's just about as cold here today as it looks in this picture Barbie LOL.

A marvellous picture you've taken of this sparrow - many thanks for showing it to us.
