Golden-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla)

In full breeding plumage for only a short time before they migrate back north to breed. A common wintering sparrow in most of California, they usually remain through the end of April. They sing throughout the year, a melancholy "Oh dear me" or "Three blind mice." However hard-luck gold miners in the Yukon heard it as "No gold here."
