Around noon, another Fox sparrow showed up.  Both of them were under the tube feeder all afternoon until after 5:00 o'clock.    I really hoped to get a decent photo, but they insisted on staying and scratching under the feeder among the messy birdseed.  I even put some seed on the clean snow, hoping to draw them out so I could photograph one of them, but they didn't cooperate. Oh well, I was thrilled to have them here anyway.

Watching and photographing the first year White-crowned on the feeder tray, I noticed the top of his head had some black and white on it.  That must be the beginning of changing to the crisp black and white crown.  Cool.  I've not seen that before.
