Why This Bird Deserves Your Attention | How A Sparrow Made Its Song Trend
How a Simple Song Change Made The White-throated Sparrow Stand Out
Listen to just the White-throated Sparrow song at the end of the video
**NOTE** At 2:05, I said, "By 2004, the new song had spread eastward into Alberta." Then I say, "Astonishingly, just one year later, in 2015." Well, that was a mistake, obviously. 2015 is not one year later from 2004! This mistake happened because I got caught up in trying to concise my script down and by accident had taken out a part:" at the time only half the sparrows sang the new song in Alberta, however by 2014 all the sparrows in Alberta were singing the new song." It was after this that I would have said, "Astonishingly, just one year later, in 2015." Oh my, so sorry for the mistake.

If you have a sick or injured bird in your possession I can not help this bird in any way it is strongly advised to contact a local vet or wildlife official before any decisions are made. It is very easy to do more harm than good when handling any wildlife.
