Gold-crowned (Zonotrichia atricapilla)

The Gold-crowned Sparrows haven't migrated north for breeding season yet. They're still moulting into their breeding plumage and look rather scruffy at this stage.

Still lovely though, even at this stage.

I think they must be one of the prettiest of US sparrows, aren't they.

Thanks Ann.

Maybe a bit scruffy but still a sweet looking Sparrow Doc.
