Our San Diego's Pacific Rocky Shores Trip (San Diego Bird Festival) took us to Cabrillo National Monument, located on the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California. The monument and adjacent area commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This event marked the first time that an European expedition had set foot on what would later became the west coast of the United States. We saw this sparrow as we were hiking up a trail near the tide pools. It was busy feeding by the side of the trail and was not disturbed by our group as we walked on the trail near it. This White-crowned Sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys, belongs to the gambelii race and is distinguished from other races by its smaller orange-yellow bill, a whitish supraloral (broad white eyebrow), and black crown-stripes. Note that this race does not have black lores as shown in this close up shot. It was a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the mid-50's.
