I believe this is a White Capped Sparrow. If not I will have a correction posted in the comments fairly quickly.
I had been playing tag with a juvenile Bald Eagle and lost the game. No Eagle photos today. But as a consolation prize this sparrow was chased out of the brush when the Eagle made his last pass.
I’ll take the opportunity to photograph the little fast guys any day.
NOTE: The expert has sent me the correction! Avain101 tells me it is a White-throated Sparrow. I stand corrected.
Great close ups! I think I have some photos I still need to post of white-crowned sparrows in California. 🙂
Thanks. I have just been informed…. by an expert avain101, that it is a White-throated Sparrow.
Ah yes, I see it now with the yellow lore… Thanks for the update!
I believe this bird is a White-throated Sparrow, just missing the tail feathers. 🙂
I knew I would hear from you 🙂 Thanks, will update now…. and give you a by-line
