For those who celebrate and/or observe Easter have a holy and joy filled day. I am keeping the spring and beginning themes of the day with a dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) nest and female mallard with her young.

Some of you will say "why are we seeing the picture?" Well my friends, when you first see a California towhee (Melozone crissalis) you might say "oh a brown bird." But when the sun catches them right you will see rufus. Here is the evening sun catching it.

Golden-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia atricapilla) in cherry tree. I took the photo between noon and 1 p.m. when the light is bad for photos so it is a little difficult to see details.

I think these are first year golden-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia atricapilla) feeding from cherry blossoms. I took the photo between noon and 1 p.m. when the light is bad for photos. If anyone thinks they are another species please let me know. 🙂
