Because people consider sparrows to be common, like the House Sparrow, many sparrows are overlooked. That is really too bad because many sparrows are actually quite handsome. The White-throated Sparrow is a beautiful bird with an equally beautiful song. They are migrating through Illinois at this time heading for their breeding area of Canada. They forage on the ground as well as tree tops. Today I saw them eating dandelion seeds and elm tree buds and sipping on the sap of Maples. (I made that last part up.)
