They also have strong facial patterning and are much commoner than the BT Sparrows.Russell Canningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881766538943245834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358106156319198577.post-76654409998005425442013-06-02T03:22:21.899-07:002013-06-02T03:22:21.899-07:00I live next to Fairwinds Dr. and have also observe...I live next to Fairwinds Dr. and have also observed the Black-throated Sparrow in my back yard on a number of occasions during the month of May. On one occasion a small flock of 5 or 6 spent about 15 minute in and around the bushes and upper lawn area before heading off in a southern direction. I assumed they were migrating through the area or simply moved down from the mountains behind my house for a feeding opportunity. I must say there black heads with the two white bands were quite noticeable from 8 m away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413429217700289605noreply@blogger.com
