White-crowned Sparrow - Bosque Del Apache, New Mexico

EXPLORE # 190 - This bird species was the Sparrow De Jour of the Refuge--- They were everywhere!!!!

Gotta Love that WHITE crown!!!!!

 

They seem to be far more abundant as one travels West. They are pretty uncommon here in Georgia. There are 5 subspecies, one of which is a permanent resident out West. Most birds breed in Canada and spend their Winters in the "Lower 48"!
