Western Birds Go East!

I saw my second Golden-crowned Sparrow in the past few month.  This one appeared in a Waterloo County back yard.  Since it was a quick drive from my Brantford house, I decided to go for it.  Certainly I could see them in British Columbia this year, but I why not count it now, in my own “backyard” and not have to expend any time this summer looking for one?  Time is precious during a Big Year and you can’t get it back.  Any bird seen in January give you extra time in December to chase down more difficult birds.

Unlike photographs from the sparrow in Toronto on a cold and cloudy day, I finally had the sun at my back for these shots:
