Title: White-crowned sparrows Post by: imkakkingmad1 on 09-May-10, 12:20:45 PM We've had some white-crowned sparrows in our backyard this weekend. Handsome little birds with the sweetest song... They must be passing through as I rarely see them here in central Illinois.

I love to hear them sing. The first year it was just a couple birds and every year since its gotten just a little bigger. I'd say we have about 20 They are so cool. :2thumbsup:
