This beautiful bird is one we see often, but I've never gotten a really good picture until now. I was so happy to see several of them this morning and made a point of trying hard to get some nice images.
From the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"The large, handsome Golden-crowned Sparrow is a common bird of weedy or shrubby lowlands and city edges in winter along the Pacific coast. Though it’s familiar to many during winter, Golden-crowned Sparrows vanish for the summer into tundra and shrublands from British Columbia to Alaska, where little is known of its breeding habits. Gold-rush miners took cold comfort from this bird’s melancholy song, which seems to reflect the bleak beauty of its surroundings."
