Description
(2nd place contest win in Beauty of Spring) A photo taken of White-Crowned Sparrow by Nava Thompson in the spring in NW Arkansas......................There are five currently recognized subspecies of White-crowned Sparrow (pugetensis, gambelii, nuttalli, oriantha, and leucophrys), varying in breeding distribution migratory route. Birds of the subspecies nutalli are permanent residents in California, while birds of the subspecies gambelli may migrate as far as the Arctic Circle during the summer breeding season. Northern birds migrate to the southern United States........Their breeding habitat is brushy areas across northern Canada and the western United States.........................White-crowned Sparrow is a very rare vagrant to western Europe............. It has been recorded from England, Scotland,Ireland, and Norway.................These birds forage on the ground or in low vegetation, but sometimes make short flights to catch flying insects. They mainly eat seeds, other plant parts and insects. In winter, they often forage in flocks........................White-crowned Sparrows nest either low in bushes or on the ground under shrubs and lay 3�5 brown-marked grey or greenish-blue eggs.....................The White-crowned Sparrow is known for its natural alertness mechanism, which allows it to stay awake for up to two weeks during migration.......... This effect has been studied for possible human applications, such as shift-work drowsiness or truck driving.
