Migrants


White-crowned Sparrow, (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is one of the few migrants I have had visiting my feeder this May.

It took me a few days to ID the immature WCS. With so many female House Sparrows, (Passer domesticus) swarming the feeder, the first thing that caught my eye was a conspicuously raised crown...
