[Birdnet] White-throated Sparrow at Mirror Lake

[Mark Stackhouse]

On Saturday morning, 20 July, I saw and heard a (presumably a male) 
White-crowned Sparrow singing on the south side of the trailhead 
parking area. It was acting very territorial and responded vigorously 
to a recorded song.

I don't know how frequently White-throated Sparrow is recorded for 
summer in Utah but I though it odd. It was especially odd to hear the 
clear tones of "Old Sam Peabody Peabody Peabody" coming from the forest 
in the Uintas. Well, it wasn't exactly the classic phraseology, he 
jazzed it up a bit, more like "Old Sam Peabody ooo body body ooo body . 
. ."
