Golden Crowned Sparrow

We had some sunshine this morning, a pleasant surprise after the rains we have had. My walk at Delta Ponds was fun, I saw several types of birds and got some exercise. This bird was caught by some nice light and looked good on that perch. There are lots of sparrows around most of the year, so they are not rare subjects. But sometimes the lighting makes the difference between the usual photograph and one that a person feels is a keeper. It's the keepers that we are constantly looking for.

A beauty of a shot, Vern. The pose, lighting and clean background do make this a delight! I think you are right in your ID too, but hard to be sure from this angle.
