Zono Invasion! Wave II begins...

For some reason, I totally forgot about the White-crowned Sparrows in my backyard after work yesterday and instead went birding at Pheasant Branch Conservancy (perhaps because of the thrill from seeing all the warblers the previous day?) Anyway, by the time I got home the shadows were too long to capture the sparrows in good light. Though it was painful not to stop at Pheasant Branch this evening, I remembered just how good those sparrows were going to look and headed straight home. So without further delay, I give you Zonotrichia leucophrys, the White-crowned Sparrow, and the way they were meant to be captured in images. I've waited so long for this moment...
