White-crowned sparrows: Monochrome Monday

These bold little white-crowned sparrows can raise or lower their “crown”, depending upon their mood. They occur throughout North America, but their bill color varies. It can be orange, yellow, or pink depending upon where they live.

They have a cheery and distinctive song that you may recognize. Listen to it here.

  • I like your post though it would be nice to see the colour of those birds maybe, just my opinion

    • Thanks! Yeah, I thought about showing them in color but they aren't as colorful as some birds.

      • Ok that's cool, it would be nice to hear them wouldn't it, seems the birds that have the least colourful feathers have the most beautiful song
