There was a flock of these little sparrows poking about in the grass in a local park and I spent at least 5 minutes trying to get a good pic of one of them. They just kept bouncing around and this was the best shot that I got. I think this is a White-Crowned Sparrow.
Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.
Like here, I don't think sparrows are native birds in Canada, but they seem to do no harm and just clean up the crumbs we leave behind. Their numbers have reduced here. We used to see them everywhere.
It is always great to see White Crowned sparrows, and not just the common House sparrows. The sparrow family is quite large, and I'm just learning to identify them.
Hello RedPat, Cute photo, it looks more like my Golden-crowned Kinglet. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
You certainly need patience to photograph these little restless visitors, but your persistence paid off with a lovely capture of this charming little sparrow

It's got places to go, people to see, no time to pose for photos!
Camera shy.

Birds are so uncooperative but they are fun to capture when you can.

It looks just like a common firecrest (*Regulus ignicapilla*) or a goldcrest (*Regulus regulus*). We have a lot of goldcrests here. Lovely birds.
That is adorable! I had a flock of bluebirds do the same thing awhile back but it sure was fun watching them! Well done on your capture!
Birds are busy creatures!

Your photo gave me a big smile. So many times I have had the same problem. Your took care of the problem uniquely. I love your fun post.
Hihi, a tactic I should copy, RedPat! I hate to get my pic taken!
