Thursday's Bird Watch!

This is a first-year juvenile White-crowned Sparrow, one of a mixed group of four adults and juveniles we spotted on a bird walk on September 28th in the shrubbery of the west-end of DRV's Assisted Living building. You may not recognize this as a White-crowned Sparrow because it's a dull colored juvenile instead of the sharp contrasting white and black crown of an adult. We have White-crown Sparrows scattered throughout DRV, and this juvenile is proof of their successful nesting this year.
