  • The call of the White-throated sparrow - Oh sweet Canada, Canada, Canada, or old-sam, Peabody, Peabody, Peabody- brings with it such an amicable whistle, that it is no wonder it goes so harmoniously with the peaceful expanse of Canada's boreal woodlands. You could even say, and many do, that the White-Throated sparrow's call has become an anthem of the boreal forest.

    This is my favorite bird call, and thankfully I finally figured out what sings it. I have lived in SC and GA all of my life, so I only hear this song in early spring mornings a few times a year. It is very peaceful and listening to them is a good way to start off the day.

    • @LesleytheBirdNerd

    But this morning, I finally saw him at my feeder and looked it up and found out it’s been him all this time! I’m so happy right now. Thank you for making this video!

    This is the bird I've tried to identify for years!! I love in Wayne County Missouri. These birds always do the long, mournful cry in wet, Spring weather here!! My Grandpa always talked about the Rain Crow, but there are two other birds I always heard during wet, warm weather too. I've now identified both! I'm very happy! The call on this video at 1:00 is the one they do during our Soring here, but it is usually longer, more drawn out, haunting!it's my favorite, and has been fir SO long! Thanks to my BirdNet app, I slightly caught one earlier. Thus was it's wild guest, and it's certainly, 100% correct! I love that app, and YT for such cool uses! Thank you! Have a fantastic day!❤❤❤ 🐦 🐦‍⬛ 🪶

    My absolute favorite songbird. I put birdseed outside on my window ledge for them, so far I've attracted a woodpecker, several sparrows, cardinals (both male and female), and a bluebird (who doesn't like sharing with anyone else). I also get squirrels, which I don't mind at all as long as they aren't destructive to the house/property...I had one that somehow learned to climb up the screen of my window to get my attention when the supply of seed ran out.

If i heard this bird sing as i was taking my last breath. My last facial expression would be a huge smile. I dont know what it is but out of all the different kinds of birds i feed. I find the white throated sparrow to be the most gentle and sweetess out of them all. Even though they resemble the bird i can not stand. Those bib wearing non native house sparrows or what ever they are called.

    I've heard this a few times before, and sometimes it almost matches "Hot Cross Buns" that every beginner musician learns. It struck me as the only bird that literally makes musical notes, and I finally learned which bird it is!

    On of my favourite birds. I haven't heard some of these calls before. You done a great job capturing them. Such a sweet looking little creature. :)

    I live in central Minnesota and never heard this heavenly bird until camping this year at the Intl Peace Garden, on the North Dakota-Canada border. Instantly it became my favorite bird. Recorded its wonderful song on my phone and listen to it almost every day. Thanks for this great video!
