White-Crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia Leucophrys


Day 193: Let's throw away the Latin and the descriptive common name and call this little fellow a Go-Faster Sparrow. He certainly has the racing stripes, and zips around the feeders as if to say, "Move over, you Juncos! I'm coming through!" The species is seasonal in my yard as are several other varieties of Sparrow, but one of the more common summer residents. Wait a minute..."summer?" Well, not this morning. I think the snow took us all by surprise.
