White-crowned Sparrow
Some of my backyard visitors.
White-throated Sparrow
Our little woodland Sparrow that sings continually all summer: Oh sweet Canada, Canada, Canada.
Harris' Sparrow
I wish these guys stayed around all summer, but we are just a rest stop for the Harris’. They breed further up north – so does the White-crowned Sparrow. (but not the White-throated Sparrow)
Evening Grosbeak and Goldfinches
BIG yellow birds and LITTLE yellow birds…
Notice the Goldfinch at the top of the photo is still molting into his breeding plumage.
Purple and Gold Finches
Don’t these look more like Red and Yellow Finches? instead of Purple Finch and Goldfinch. And why is Goldfinch only one word, while Purple Finch is two? Too many questions, just enjoy the colors!
