Little White-Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is a busy fellow, not willing to hold still for his portrait until it's time hide in a tangle, safe from predators. He hops along in the grass, pausing only long enough to pick up a seed or an insect, always busy, always on the move. After watching him come and go for an hour or so, he finally rewarded me by perching in the contorted filbert. There in the safety of its twisted boughs, he was beautifully camouflaged by his coloration.
