I can tell it’s fall because warbler migration has given way to sparrows. The first indication was an influx of yellow-rumped warblers at Frick on 12 October, who arrive late in warbler migration, followed by a few white-throated sparrows on 15 October.
It’s sparrow time! Join me for a bird & nature walk in Schenley Park on Sunday, 26 October 2025, 8:30am – 10:30am. We’ll meet at Bartlett Shelter on Bartlett Street.
We’re sure to see fruits, seeds, and fallen leaves, acorns, chipmunks and blue jays. Will we find white-throated sparrows? I sure hope so. See why below.
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them.

White-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis) come in two color morphs — tan-striped and white-striped — and because look-alike morphs will not mate with each other, this effectively means there are four sexes of white-throated sparrows, shown in the table below. Click here to learn more.
