Migratory May 2024 - Gold Crowned Sparrow did you know that The Golden-crowned Sparrow arrives earlier and stays longer on its California wintering grounds than almost any other bird species.
When day length increases in the spring, the Golden-crowned Sparrow detects the change through photoreceptors (light-sensitive cells). Its body responds by putting on fat and getting an urge to migrate.
