The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #b&w, bird captures in mono, and the alt theme is #sparrows any sparrow. Today I give you both in one image. A B&W #White-crownedSparrow. Photo from early last year. #canonR10 #sigma150600 #birds #birdphoyography #EastCoastKin #backyardbirding

Would you drive across the border to see a bird? A friend and I did that last week when we went up to Canada in the hope of seeing this northern hawk owl in the metro Vancouver area.
