The white-crowned sparrow is another in a long-running series of sparrows! The white-crowned sparrow winters in a large portion of the U.S., and except for parts of western U.S. it summers mostly in Canada.

About 6 weeks ago I moved the bird feeder closer to the ground and bushes around the house, and this seems to be drawing a slightly different clientele including the white-crowned sparrow. This sparrow has come to feed six days in a row. I threw a little seed on the ground further away from the feeder, both to attract this bird and for better camera sightlines.
