Amphispiza bilineata

Black-throated Sparrow

Schwarzkehlammer

Also called the Desert Sparrow, the Black-throated Sparrow adapts well to the extremes of its habitat. It has a great tolerance for heat and drought. During the hot months of late summer and early fall, it maintains itself on dry seeds and drinks regularly at water holes. After rain, it feeds on vegetation and insects, from which it gets all the moisture it needs. Huachuca City, Arizona, USA
