More birdies from the streamside gang. A junco and then some kind of sparrow I didn't know. Identification help welcome.

The final participant in the streamside gang was a little more shy but so cute! A nuthatch!

The sparrow is an immature White-crowned Sparrow.

That's the first thing I thought but I was like...this crown is not white. Thought maybe it was a female or juvenile but just as likely it could have been like...a cream crowned sparrow only found in the northern Rockies or something.

Cream-crowned Sparrow it is! Endemic to the Northern Rockies. Zonotrichia Coltoni. You write the paper, I’ll peer review it.
