This month the challenge is locating as many White-crowned sparrows as you can. They like to hang out it in groups among low shrubs, or eating seed on the ground. Here is the flyer
White-crowned Sparrows are very common birds that can be
spotted in the Sonoran Desert during the winter months - usually
October through March.
They can easily be identified by their distinctive black and white
striped head, gray face and underparts, tan back, and pink bill.
You may find them fluttering about the parks feeding on seeds
from grasses, forbs, hackberries, and wolfberries.
Happy Holidays!!
