The White-throated Sparrow ranges from Alberta to Newfoundland, south to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and North Dakota. It is a very common sparrow and is known as a winter visitor and a migrant. Flocks of these birds haunt undergrowth of woods, parks, and gardens in the winter, often foraging with other sparrows and juncos on the ground.
Very common in the east and scarce in the west, they summer in northern forests. Their song is a clear whistled 'oh, sweet, canada-canada-canada'.
During colder months hedgerows and thickets seem to be filled with White-throated Sparrows, while on warm days their plaintive calls can easily be heard.
