Secret Life of the White-Crowned Sparrow Zonotrichia leucophrys | May 6, 2012 |
| |
In 2007 I put up what would be a standard set of white-crowned sparrow photos; today, along with better images, I can present the secret life of this otherwise moderate- to larger-size sparrow.
It's worth noting that the white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is quite elegant, a truly classy sparrow. |

| Most birds enjoy bathing, and the white-crowned sparrow is no exception. Still, when you come right down to it, a wet bird is a wet bird. |
|
| But the secret part of the white-crowned's life is its love of rock-n-roll. |

Man, talk about shaking those feathers!
Photo note: I used a Pentax K20D, with the Sigma 150-500mm lens, on 2 May 2012, for the these photos. |
