This time of year the White Throated Sparrows "invade" the area. A birder said, "The White Throated Sparrow ship has landed." It's true. You never see just one. They migrate in groups. These birds can be loud. When foraging on the ground they kick up leaves and dirt. It sounds like a large animal foraging.

During this time of year large groups of White Throated Sparrows show up. Tonight in the rain several sparrows were foraging for food and singing.
