White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)
Certainly amongst my favorite of our more local sparrows, I particularly enjoy them in their alternate (breeding) plumage, which I find quite striking for a "little brown job." Not to mention that their distinctive "Poor Sam Peabody" (or "O sweet Canada" depending upon which side of the border you live on) loudly whistled is hard to miss - and often one of the first bird songs that many birders learn.
