    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline (Oakland, CA, USA) at less than 5m. I know I already have photos of this species, but around here, they are one of the more colorful local birds, and I just like all the patterns and contrasts. Besides, they are reasonably people-tolerant...

    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 12m. I've taken photos of these birds before, and they always seem to have an air about them.

    Wider view of the White-Crowned Sparrow from this morning. This is the first shot I got and was from a greater distance than the other two. Red leaves are from barberry shrub in front of spruce tree. Did not use a fill flash for this one, so the eye looks more natural.

    What was the whitish bird I was seeing in the spruce tree this morning? A White-Crowned Sparrow! Back from Northern Canada to spend the winter. Last time I saw one was during May. Used a fill flash, so the eye looks blue (but I think it becomes him, lol).
