    At 6:09 this evening this bird showed up at its favorite back yard feeder.
    The white-crowns had been foraging below the feeder and on the lawn for
    about 15 minutes before it showed up.  I watched it eat for about 3 minutes
    after which it perched on the surrounding squirrel cage, preened for several
    seconds, then vanished among a flash of white-crowns into the adjacent
    shrubs.  Four pictures taken late last Sunday afternoon were posted at
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/22575616 at N04/; these show this bird's
    coloration and contrast more accurately than the previous group, and in
    greater detail as there was noting but air between the bird and lens.
