| Seventh State record Golden-crowned Sparrow |
My third attempt over the past six years to see a Golden-crowned Sparrow in Michigan was successful, even though it took two days to cross paths with it. I had spent about an hour and a half , off and on throughout the day on Monday without any luck. But early Tuesday morning the target bird showed up after about a ten minute wait. It ducked in and out of the brush as it warily avoided migrating Sharp-shinned Hawks that passed over.
It had lots of sparrow company around the feeders behind the Point Gift Shop.
