Passing stranger



Here's a a couple of shots of a bird I saw at the marsh today that personally I've never seen before, that I'm aware of at least.  It's a White-crowned sparrow.  Apparently they are uncommon transients, especially on their spring migration.  These likely are on the way to their breeding grounds in Quebec or possibly northern Newfoundland.  It's always exciting to see something new at the marsh.  That's the beauty of the place, you never know from one day to the next what you might discover.
