And one more makes three...

A few days ago I talked about the chipping sparrow and the lark sparrow. Last night a third member of the family stopped by - the white-crowned sparrow. He is not as colorful as the other two but has some beautiful markings nonetheless.


He sang a song as he sat on the fence post, unimpressed by the fact that both Frank the cat and I were within a few feet of his perch!

  1. lovely pictures of the sparrow. The white-crowned sparrow is generally described as being one of the prettiest sparrows and I agree! We occasionally get one at our bird feeder and it really stands out among the usual black-throated sparrows.
    Can I ask you what camera you used to take these photos? I am in the market for a new one...
