Golden-Crowned Sparrow


Zonotrichia atricapilla ORDER: PASSERIFORMES FAMILY: EMBERIZIDAE


Golden-Crowned Sparrows are a familiar visitor throughout California during the winter months. They flock together in small groups, and feed primarily on seeds and plant sprouts, along with the occasional insect.

As breeding season approaches, they will leave for their summer home in the tundra of Canada and Alaska.
