Phriday Photo – White-crowned Sparrow (with a Brown Crown)

The White-crowned Sparrows with brown crowns (aka, 1st year birds), always seem to be a bit more bold than those with the sharp white and black crowns.

Amazing image quality, so sharp, nice creamy background.
May I know why this bird called “1st year birds”, a juvenile one year old bird?

Very nice digiscoped image. I’ll keep an eye out now; I’ve never seen a white-crowned with brown vs. black. Thanks for the info.
