White crowned sparrow


There was a white-crowned sparrow this afternoon feeding below the feeder. This is the first one I have seen for a long time. Some poor house sparrow today was caught by a hawk right near the feeder. The sparrow actually bumped the window before being caught by the hawk. It happened so fast that I could not see what type of hawk it was. Afterwards when I went out on the back porch a bunch of sparrows flew out from underneath. I guess they were hiding there!
