Not seeing flocks of Bushtits any longer.
They've paired up, so I only see one or two.
Here's a male.
I now work with two young avid birds. One told me that there was a sub-species of White-crowned Sparrows moving through the area - Gamble's White-crowned Sparrows.
And low and behold that's what these guys are.
The two main ID points are the black eye line that ends at the eye and does not reappear in the front of the eye to the beak.
The other is the bright color of the bill.
It was kind of fun to figure this out.
Your stitch is adorable. What a fun sighting of the new to you bird!
ReplyDeleteBeth: I adore Shepherd Bush designs, they always have such sweet buttons to add for the final touch.
ReplyDeleteThe bird is very interesting, I do not recall this bird in our area.
