Title: Return of an old visitor
Post by: Dinusaur on October 21, 2013, 05:51:51 PM

With weather turning cold outside, I turned my attention to the backyard last week-end. Sunday evening I saw this white-crowned sparrow sitting on the backyard fence, all puffed up. Last time I saw a white-crowned in the yard was in May, these days house sparrows are bullying every one out. These photos were taken with 3200 ISO, the noise has crept up a bit.
