Around 40 participants enjoyed a beautiful morning of birding for the Madison Audubon field trip at Pheasant Branch Conservancy on Saturday. Often confused with American Tree Sparrow, the most prevalent sparrow was juvenile White-crowned, like the one pictured above. This field trip is so much fun, I think next year we're going to add a second one late October!
