The new mysterious new sparrow-finch-like bird at Maguire Gardens at the Los Angeles Public Library Central Branch (from Twitter)
There's a new visitor to Maguire Gardens, one of my favorite places, lately, to feed the birds in downtown Los Angeles (some of the regular flock there has been getting scared away, by a pigeon-hawk [there's a family of pigeon-hawks that frequent the blocks adjacent to Grand and Hill, from the Library, down to Temple Street, or so]). It's a yellow-crested, yellow-faced sparrow lookalike, practically, although I also hear that it could be part finch, which could make sense, on account of the species'' similar sizes and body types. Another theory is that the special nutritional supplementation that I'd been giving the birds of the area, here and there, of ionic, humic, and fulvic minerals, could have spurred a genetic ingenue nuclear watershed evolution from one of the young, of the breeding flocks of birds in the area. It's quite mysterious, in a sense, yet this bird was definitely destined to be a star, with it's bright yellow crest and facial features.
