Golden-crowned Sparrow
This Golden-crowned Sparrow arrived in my neighbourhood yesterday morning a couple of hours after the White-crowned Sparrows. It is returning from a winter vacation that was anywhere from south-western B.C. to central Mexico. They are an uncommon seasonal visitor in the Yukon, mostly seen just above tree-line in alpine scrub areas where they breed. However in the early spring during migration, they are sometimes seen at feeders and low-elevation wetlands. Taken in the morning in a fair bit of shade, I used a roof to provide a background for this image. They're very shy and evasive birds in these parts, making life difficult for the photographer.
Large shrub ... clusters of waxy flowers that are either white or lavender in color ... five pointed petals and a small, elegant "crown" rising from the center, which holds the stamens.
