White-crowned Sparrow
Finally, a half decent photo of a White-crowned Sparrow! This little guy/gal flew to the top of a small bush when I arrived at Forgetmenot Pond yesterday morning. This is at the far end of the Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), in the mountains.
The scientific name "leucophrys" is Greek for "white eyebrow". Apparently, "this species of Sparrow is the most studied Sparrow in North America. It has given science tremendous insight on physiology and geographic variation in song dialects" From Birds of Alberta by Fisher and Acorn.
