White Crowned Sparrow

Published January 22, 2013 | By Bill

This is my White Crowned Sparrow friend. I call him my friend because he seemed to like hanging around with me.

I was at the Algoma marina photographing the lighthouse and sunrise when I noticed something moving along the ground. It turned out to be this sparrow. I made note of him and went about my business, moving along the marina wall to get various shots. It seemed, no matter where I moved, this white crowned sparrow was never more than a few feet away; always skittering along the ground.

Needless to say, I turned my camera in his direction a few times that morning. I’ve been back to the marina many times since, but haven’t seen my friend or his like again. (You can view another photo of this bird posted previously HERE)

White Crowned Sparrow

This white crowned sparrow was an unexpected surprise.

While taking photos of a sunrise at the marina in Algoma, Wisconsin, I noticed some movement on the ground. Each time I would change position, this little bird would flit along the ground…but never far.

Eventually, I turned the camera his way. He seemed cooperative, allowing me to move within 10 feet for shots like this.
