Golden-Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla)

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 65m.

These birds are common here, and while I've photographed them in ways more flattering to their namesake heads or their lovely body patterns, I just kinda like this nice photo of the bird up in a tree.

Honestly, I'm a bit amazed the camera deftly managed to focus lock on it.

I'm amazed as well and I love how it is actually nicely framed between those branches. Nice work Calvin
