Description
Golden-crowned Sparrow
This little bird was in my sister's garden resting on her plants. It is a golden-crowned sparrow. You can see its yellowish fore-crown and distinctive marking. An interesting note: the yellowish crown patch indicates social status, and birds with similarly sized patches are more likely to fight than birds with differently sized patches!

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
