White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) Logan Lake, BC

            This little bird was interested in what I was photographing and decided that he wanted his photo taken too, so fluffed himself up and made his presence known right beside me. It appears that somewhere in his life he lost a toe, doesn’t seem to bother or impede it at all.

These sparrows are small birds, they can reach 15-16 cm (5.9-6.3 in) in length and 25-28 g (0.9-1.0 oz) in weight. 
Although sparrows do not belong to the group of water birds, they can swim very fast to escape from predators. 
Sparrows will have several broods each year and have a survival rate of between 4 and 5 years in the wild.
