Juvenile White-crowned Sparrow on a December day – Nikon D810, f6.3, 1/1000, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited
A little brown bird (LBB) popped into my view today that I couldn’t resist photographing and it was this juvenile White-crowned Sparrow. There are plenty of White-crowned Sparrows at Farmington Bay right now along with Song Sparrows and also a few Lincoln’s that are migrating through to their wintering grounds.
I always enjoy seeing and photographing sparrows even though they aren’t flashy birds. Every bird has its appeal.

Wonderful image Mia. Reminds me of a scene I watched in Cleveland recently: We were making our way through the fresh snow on the sidewalk when we came upon a man sharing his food with about 20 LLBs (LBJs). He was tall and all these little faces were looking up at him, waiting for the next morsel.
Hi!
I have not seen only a chickadee so far at my feeder? I keep looking for my snowbirds? Yes a Junco! ha ha Have a great day!
glad you photograph the less “flashy” birds. I do too.
Fantastic photo! Thank you 🙂
I have a huge weakness for the subtle beauty of LBJs (known here as little brown jobs). Thank you.
