| White-Crowned Sparrow | November 2007 |
| |
White-crowns are a moderate- to larger-size sparrows that I generally see during spring and fall migration at Cooper's Pond.
On occasion, a handsome white-crowned sparrow stops by our feed area. |

In general, I photograph them in the Toftree game land just north of home (and it is always a challenge trying to focus through a thicket).

| The following white-crowned sparrow is probably an immature. He is first picking up the striking white-and-black crown. | ||

It's always a good day when I come across a white-crown.
Photo note: I used a Pentax *ist D, with the SMC-A* 200mm macro lens (plus doubler) for the first photo (in May 2007) and with the SMC 1000mm reflex lens for the second two (in Oct. 2007). |
