On March 30, 2025 we were visiting our son, Sam, in Santa Cruz, California. We took a short, but fun, visit to the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden. There I saw a bird I've been wanting to see for a long time, the golden-crowned sparrow, but it was not breeding season, so I did not get to see the signature gold crown, a yellow stripe along the crown.
 |
| The yellow stripe on the crown only shows up during breeding season. It is closely related to the white-crowned sparrow which we get at home and see a lot of. |
 |
| Range from Birds of the World. I am surprised that their range is limited to the far west. |
