Daily Birding 📷 88
White-crowned Sparrow
My First White-crowned Sparrow Sighting!
I heard this bird before I saw it. I was in a parking lot and heard a unique, persistent call. It took me a few moments to spot this little one perched on top of a shrub. This bird seemed unperturbed, even with construction going on across the street and people passing by. Singing its little heart out, I got a few photographs before it moved on to continue with its day.
Learn more about this bird and hear its call here.
My husband, @josephsavage, is speaking at the Steem Creators Conference in Las Vegas next month. We will both be going and I hope to see you there!

You are in western Washington so our Pugetensis subspecies of the White-crowned Sparrow start singing in ernest about now, with their Me-Me-Pretty-Pretty-Me song. It is like you said, loud, persistent and easily recognizable. Other subspecies of WCSP have songs with similar qualities but slightly different phrasing of the notes. Good birding. Nice post.
Thank you, it's been hard to keep up while traveling. How long have you been birding?
32 years. I recently retired though and have more time to get out than ever before.
That's really awesome that you have been birding for so long. I hope it is always a part of my life.
Make it be so :.)
