A year ago, or so, I saw what I thought was a Chipping Sparrow hop directly in front of the camera.  I never realized Chipping Sparrows have bright, yellow eyebrows.  Then the Sparrow looked up, displaying a vivid-white bib.  Hmmm.  Not a Chipping Sparrow.  Some quick research introduced me to the White-throated Sparrow.  Both Sparrows are shown together in the first image.  You can see the similarities of their markings/coloring, so if viewed from a distance it would be pretty hard to tell who is who.

As shown in the second photo, a close-up of the White-throated Sparrow shows he is aptly-named.  He's only in Georgia for the winter -- spending his summers mostly in Canada.  Like the Chipping Sparrow, the White-throated is a ground feeder.  Unlike the Chipping Sparrow, however, the White-throated has a unique foraging approach.  I call it the "Hop 'n Scratch" method.  Hop Forward -- Scratch Back.  It's pretty funny to watch.  This behavior just might be the key to discovering a White-throated Sparrow foraging in your yard.
