Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca). Family Passerellidae, order Passeriformes.

This was my first time ever seeing one, and I've been obsessed ever since. In winter when we get a rare snow that lasts more than a day, I would get a few more species at/around my feeders that didn't typically come around. I had this little one several days in a row while the snow persisted.

Oklahoma, USA. February 2021.

the golden-crowned kinglet is a small species of songbird found distributed across much of north america. adults are olive-gray on their upperparts, with white-light gray undersides; they have a yellow crown surrounded by black, which has an orange patch in the center on males. their breeding habitat is coniferous forests, which allows them to thrive in a large north american range. these small birds forage in trees and shrubbery for their prey; they are insectivorous, and feed on insects (with a preference for caterpillars), insect eggs, and arachnids. they nest in a well-hidden ‘cup’ shaped nest that hangs from a conifer branch.
