"Guest Bird" Identification Project Challenges RVers Birding Knowledge
The most fun thing for me about bird watching is being able to correctly identify a bird in the wild. It isn't always easy and sometimes it takes a few days of searching books and the internet to arrive at the answer. So to help you practice your bird identification skills, Bird Watching on the RV Road will feature a "Guest Bird" each week and your job is to correctly identify this bird. Register you official guess in the "comments" section below. The following week, we will tell you what it is. OK, here is our first "Guest Bird" what is it? This photo was taken in Pacific Grove, California about 50 yards from the ocean in December.

White-crowned Sparrow. According to my 'book,' I've seen one 'in person'!

Don't know the real name of this bird, but my son used to call them the bird with the racing stripes. Fits doesn't it? Had a lot of them where we lived in CA.
