The Golden-crowned Sparrows are back

It's a soggy day in Northern California, with steady showers and gusts of wind.

Now, this is the kind of winter we should always have!

A few days ago I opened the patio gate and saw a flash of wings.

Apparently several Golden-crowned Sparrows were feeding on seeds and berries on plants around the patio.

They flew into the shelter of the blackberry hedge.

This one quietly sat on a dried vine, keeping an eye on me, while the others hopped from vine to vine in the hedge.

Welcome back Golden-crowned Sparrows!
