Tonight at dusk, I heard a lot of WCs around the yard. They are happy with this habitat it seems. Thank you for your feedback.

I generally see more immatures/1st winter white-crowneds than adults during the winter here (usually a few adults are among lots of immatures). I believe I’ve heard that in some species younger birds are pushed out of prime habitats by adults, but I don’t know whether that is only during the breeding season or year-round. Now you have me thinking about habitat selection and use…

I have a group of WCs who feed early and late when there aren’t a lot of other birds feeding. The 1st Winter bird really stood out from the others by appearance.
