I was hanging clothes on the line yesterday, when I saw a bird hop to the ground from the lilac bush. A white-crowned sparrow! They stop by for a few days as they come and go on their migration. So far I have only seen one, whereas last year there were four at a time. 
It will be a brief visit, and then it will move on. Hopefully I will see them on the return trip in October.

Your picture is the only one I’ve seen this season. I usually have 2 pair most of the winter, but haven’t seen them since the previous year. I’m wondering where they have gone.
Have a great day. The Baltimore Oriole was here this morning, and I’m not prepared. No Grape jelly. Off to the store tomorrow.

We have a lot of these birds now – I should get my bird book out and identify the ones hanging around.
