White-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)

The cooler weather is bringing some new faces to my yard on the Connecticut shoreline. This guy, a white-throated sparrow, just showed up when the native plants started releasing seeds and spores. If you look closely at his beak, he's been munching on the pokeweed berries in the yard - which are actually toxic to some other animals.
