White-crowned Sparrow

October 10, 2022

The White-crowned Sparrow is an annual regular with numbers varying wildly year over year. Beginners often confuse the White-crowned Sparrow with the Golden-crowned Sparrow. The grey bill of the Golden-crowned Sparrow vs the yellow bill of the White-crowned Sparrow are good field marks. The crown of the White-crowned Sparrow can be distinctly golden in the first winter bird.

The White-crowned Sparrow is a central flyway bird and occurs in Nova Scotia during migration.
