353. Golden-crowned Sparrow

Date         July 13, 2024

Location    Lake Clark National Park, AK




It was a rainy afternoon on the shore of Turquoise Lake (the "Delta" shore on the east side), and I was munching on a sandwich, hunkered down under a tarp that had been reduced in size by half the day before due to high winds. My guide Josh was there with me. A small bird hopped through the bushes and tundra, passing within 10 feet from where we were sitting. It was a male in breeding plumage, not something you're going to see unless you're way up north in the summer.
