bird of the day: yellow-throated sparrow
the yellow-throated sparrow is a small passerine bird native to middle-eastern asia. yellow-throated sparrows differ from most sparrows by their thinner, pointed beak.
yellow-throated sparrows are sexually dimorphic. females have either a very small amount of yellow on the throat or none at all, and they lack the chestnut shoulder patches.
these sparrows feed off of grains, seeds, fruits, insects, nectar, and berries. they also enjoy some flower petals, and are sometimes seen with pollen covering their heads.
the yellow-throated sparrow is relatively common and is rated least concern by the iucn.
a leucistic black-billed magpie hangs out with normally-colored flockmates. normally, leucistic birds have shorter lifespans – melanin is component that strengthens feathers, and leucistic birds’ feathers degrade faster as a lack of that pigment; as well as making them more visible to predators.
the house finch is a small north american finch. house finches mainly eat seeds, along with berries, fruit and insects. house finches are closely related to the purple finch, but the male has redder coloration, and they are typically more territorial.
the pine grosbeak is a large finch found in eurasia and northern north america. the grosbeak is a part of the cardinal family, and feeds on seeds, berries, and insects.
