We are in the area of Grand Falls-Windsor and you can see white-throated sparrows there. White-throated sparrows sing a song described with the mnemonics "Oh sweet Canada Canada Canada" or "Old Sam Peabody Peabody Peabody." Its wingspan is 23 to 26 cm, with a lifespan of up to 10 years, weighing 20 to 35 g, with a length of 16 to 17.5 cm. They nest near or on the ground, with one brood of 2 to 6 eggs from May to August.
Here is a video about the white-throated sparrow.
We are 7365 km from Tofino!
