White-crowned Sparrow – Zonotrichia leucophrys

On the boardwalk end of the walking-biking trail that goes along the cliff all the way to Natural Bridges State Park, is the most expansive parking and the entrance to a maze of trails that go through woods and fields. It is a good place to do some bird watching. And, when you get tired of of watching birds, you can walk back across West Cliff Drive and watch the surfers near the lighthouse. There were quite a few birds right behind the restrooms. I found these White-Crowned Sparrows here.
