Description
As a snow-bird visitor, white-crowned sparrows, arrive in the Arizona Sonoran Desert as early as late September, and stay through late May. White-crowned Sparrows show loyalty to their winter territories and are likely to return to the same areas each year.
Just one of the treats in my natural desert acre. A sheer garden of joy, as these lovely birds grace my home with their presence. The key is to get to photograph them before they fly away. Generally, I need my 2000 mm camera to pull it off.
This little guy was happily eating away, and paused for a brief moment to be photographed.

Thank you so much Pat Goltz. I really appreciate that special recognition. Birds are not the easiest to photograph, as they are always on the move. I feel quite privileged to capture their daily antics.

Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Jasna. I too love to photograph the birds that either live in the Arizona Sonoran or visit from south of the border. They grace my home that sits on an acre of natural desert vegetation. I am glad you like this and have chosen it as one of your favorites, too. I really appreciate it!
