can you shut one lawn sprinkler head and leave others on? How?
Answers:
Probably not on a temporary basis. You'd have to remove the head altogether and put a cap in the line.
Most systems have "zones" that allow you to do some parts of the yard and not others; if this head is in its own "zone" then you might be able to program the system to hit all the other zones but not that one.
Other answers:
I'm just guessing, but can't you push it down and then turn it either left or right a little to lock it into the down position? I'm comparing it to a bottle of lotion, etc. with pumps that you can turn and lock them into a closed position.

Most RainBird sprinkler heads have an adjustment screw in the top of the sprinkler. You use this to adust the flow rate and spray radius of the sprinkler head. This adjustment should allow you to completely stop flow from that sprinkler head.
yeah, it's possible. Richard above gave you the answer but left out 1 important part, it's almost impossible to close the adjustment screw on an old sprinkler head due to corrosion. If that's the case either replace it and close the new head, or just plug off the head outlet.
Unscrew the head, use a nipple with a cap to close it off. Head comes out without the nipple? Just use the cap. No teflon tape, nothing. Hand tight, you may have to put the head back. The adjustment screw will shut the head off but it will still pop up. and will get stuck in up position because there is no water leakage or grit got into neck. Bad method. Next time you mow you'll just chop it off.
