Yet another of our little sparrow cousins, a group of White-Crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) have been frequenting the yard and seemed to have moved into the sparrow-condominium complex that is our hedge. Like their gold crowned cousins, these little guys are easily spotted by their zebra striped crowns.
Unlike their Midas-touched cousins, these little guys seem to prefer feeding on the ground and apparently love a good bath. In the afternoons lately, there’s been quite a raucous little pool party in the bath.
Ubiquitous like our other sparrows, but still a striking little bird that seems to have no end to the errands they need to complete.
