Last week I spotted a rare visitor to my garden!
Golden-crowned sparrows spend winters along the Pacific coast.
By mid-May they migrate to Western Canada and Alaska where they nest.
They feed on seeds and insects below feeders and in underbrush.
Moments later a second sparrow arrived!
This little guy was sporting a mohawk!
Their golden crowns are especially bright during mating season.
They foraged around the garden for several days.
Then they were gone.
Safe travels, Golden-crowned Sparrows!

Your garden is a plethora of bird life. Thanks for sharing, Sabine.

Yes Missy, there are a lot of birds that visit! Lucky for them that I just stocked up on sunflower seeds.

we had a bunch of those around here a few weeks ago. They seem to move in groups.

They look very snazzy with that golden stripe Sabine. You got good close-ups of them. Sorry they took off already, but this is Migration week across the U.S. – I hope you get to see them on their return flight.

Wayne said he saw some the other day. Perhaps they are visiting him.
