White-throated Sparrow
Each spring and fall, IIT Main Campus bird aficionados flock to an early morning escorted walk that showcases the remarkable variety of feathered creatures that frequent this urban environment. The walk is led by Geoffrey Williamson, professor and interim chair, IIT Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, along with David Baker, vice president of external affairs.
This spring’s bird walk, held on May 14, began with the sighting of this white-throated sparrow on the lawn north of Paul V. Galvin Library.
