Description
This Black-throated Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata) strikes a pose on a cactus near Tucson, Arizona.
A sharply marked little bird of the arid zones. Black-throated Sparrows are very common in parts of the Southwest, even in some relatively barren flats of creosote bush where few other birds occur; loose winter flocks feed on the ground in open areas, making little tinkling call notes. In spring, males perch atop low bushes to sing their metallic notes and trills.
