There's a huge contrast between how the white throated sparrow sounds -- angelic, in a sparrowish way -- and how he looks: like a checker cab, like a fancy cat, like he should be wearing retro sunglasses and a slouchy hat with a brim. He looks like a bird who spends the other half of the year surviving an incredibly cool and impossibly stressful hipster scene somewhere. I guess he comes up here to relax.
Wonderful photo, Anne: I had never seen one up close and personal.
