To learn more click here http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/White-crowned_Sparrow.html

Black & white crown, clear grayish breast. Bill pink or yellowish.
In the high Sierra & Rockies the white eye stripe extends from the
eye instead of the bill. Winters in S.W. US, Mexico, & Cuba.

Map & range not to any scale.

Since whether or not the white stripe extends all the way to the back of the bill determines where the bird is from, I thought I would point it out.

Here the white stripe goes to the base of the bill.

No problem in telling the white strip goes to the base of the bill in this image.
