The White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is here during the winter. In spring they migrate to northwestern Canada and the northeastern United States, where they spend their breeding season.
This one is enjoying Greenbrier (Smilax) berries, which are an important source of nutrition for overwintering birds.

Yes he looks like he has a nice thick coat on.
Hi Bonnie!
Yep, these little critters have to be ready for our cold temperatures. I’m ready for the cold temperatures too, though I’m fortunate, that I can remove my thick coat, if I need to!
Bonnie, thanks bunches for reading my posts! And I’m so glad to hear from you!
