A white-crowned sparrow stopped by today. The warblers are mostly gone, now it is the season of the sparrow in the garden.

#sparrow #WhiteCrownedSparrow #wildlifegardening #birds #yxe

A small sparrow sits on a twin, looking to its right, branches and spruce needles in the background.  It is mostly grey, but with a thin black eye stripe below a broader white band. At the very top of the head is a dark rusty red band- this means this one is still a bit immature.

A small rusty red beetle with black spots is sitting on a upright cluster or spike of light mauve and green flowers. A few tiny water drops glistens on its back.

The first ovenbird of the migratory season stopped by the garden this morning. They are so ridiculously cute. Also, I never knew that they are warblers! Somehow I never cottoned on to that.

Very cute little bird, slightly bigger than an average sparrow, sits on a wooden fence. It has a white breast with blaxk stippled stripes, olive brown back and wings, a short, upright tail, and stripes in its head like a tiny little punk.

An olive green warbler with a black eye stripe, as well as another darker band on its head, sits on a wire, looking over its shoulder at the camera.

2 bees sit on a mauve,  lavender-like flower head. On the left is the larger one of the 2, all yellow and brown stripes, with quite a long abdomen. On the right is a slightly smaller bee, with yellow thorax, with a broad rusty brown band across the abdomen, surrounded by yellow, and with a black tip.

No new birds today, but a really great looking new fly visitor - a ladybird fly, Gymnosoma rotundatum. It is feeding from my water parsnip.

A small fly sits in a small umbel of white flowers. Its abdomen is orange-red in colour, with black marks on the top. The rest of the fly is black.

And as the evening moves on, the Hunt's bumblebees congregate on the anise hyssop, settling in for the night.

3 bumble bees, yellow with a rusty red band halfway around their abdomen,  airh a little black bit at their tails, sit on mauve flower clusters that look a lot like lavender.
