Description
The White-Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is common in the West, and less common in the East. It has a long tail, long neck and a small head, crown feathers that are sometimes raised to form a crest, a bold black and white striped pattern on its head, a white throat, grayish-white underparts, rufous appearing wings with two wingbars, and an orange bill. It is found in brush, weeds, hedgerows, farmland, and open areas with cover. It measures about 7 inches in length and weighs about 1 ounce. Several geographic variations in appearance and voice have been described for this species.
This White-Crowned Sparrow perched on Sage brush at sunrise was photographed in Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, Imperial Beach, CA on 2-28-2016. I used a Nikon D810 camera body and a Nikon 500mm f/4 vr2 lens to capture this image.
