White-crowned Sparrow juvenile


This little Sparrow was chipping away in the garden at Lake Louise yesterday. I think I'm correct in saying it's a Chipping Sparrow, but would really appreciate it if someone would let me know if I'm wrong - thanks! Luckily, I was able to position myself so that the colourful garden flowers were in the background : )
Thanks so much to Zunzuncito and Don (both on Flickr) for correcting the ID, to a juvenile White-crowned Sparrow. Much appreciated, both of you!
We happened to arrive at the lake just before it decided to rain. Can't complain, though, as the weather was so enjoyable for a good part of the day. Driving west from Calgary, we soon saw that the mountains (eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains) were looking rather hazy. Before too long, we found ourselves driving through very low, thick cloud and the mountains, there one moment, had partly disappeared the next. This went on for a long time and I began to wonder if we would even be able to see the beautiful mountains the further west we went. Eventually, the clouds lifted and the sun shone. Later in the day, the grey clouds started drifting in and we did get some rain, but we had already seen the "best" things. We were able to go inside the Chateau Lake Louise and wander around while the worst of the rain fell. It did clear, giving me a chance to take photos looking out over Lake Louise. Our furthest destination was Peyto Lake (and just a little further). I'm still not sure if I have ever been to Peyto Lake. If I have visited that amazing lake before, it would have been 30+ years ago. Needless to say, I was just thrilled to bits to get a chance to go there, thanks to good friend, Sandy!
