Dork’s field report, supplemental.

Apparently the White-Crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys, appears all over North America. I’ll be darned if I’ve ever spotted one before, though, or if I did I didn’t notice. This one was out here braving the rain and the sleet with us, and took a short break from hopping around hiding in the bushes to pose for us.

Twice!

And at least I didn’t have to try to take a picture of it against the sky, which was nice.

    Yeah, these little guys and gals are fairly common here. I’ll usually find them with white-throated sparrows, the ones with yellow lores.
