Photo of a small, grey-breasted songbird with brown and white wings and striking black and white stripes on eir cap and face. The bird, a white-crowned sparrow, is sitting on a reddish-brown stem that arcs from the bottom left of the photo across to the mid upper right. The sparrow is shown in right-facing profile and looking straight ahead, thin stems and small clusters of folded green leaves assembled sporadically in the background. The soft backlight to the scene is in fact a sky almost white with storm and the muted orangey-gold of a hillside covered in sere chaparral scrub.
