[TN-Bird] Golden-crowned Sparrow pix

Thanks to everyone for getting the word out on this stunner, I decided to 
pass up on sleeping yesterday and meet Jeff at the home of the very gracious 
Kunkels. As Jeff said, we had great looks at the bird.

The bird spent a lot of time in heavy cover yesterday, seeming to prefer the 
cedar trees in Keith's yard. We only had the bird at the feeder just before 
dark, after arriving at 3:00 PM. This bird is very easy to overlook as it 
sits motionless in these cedars, often in the interior of the trees.

This bird will no doubt continue to draw a crowd, lets hope it's found its 
winter vacation spot, and this would seem to be the case.

I have posted a few decent shots of the bird in a new gallery on my webpage.

Good Birding!!
