It wouldn’t seem like summer without the sounds of the Chipping Sparrows echoing through the trees in our area. A beautiful little sparrow with their rufous crown. We see the Chipping Sparrow foraging on branches, jumping around on the ground and hopping about in the both pine and deciduous tress each summer.
More often than not a hike through the forest in July is accompanied by their song echoing through the woods. A song we thoroughly enjoy.
So here’s to the Chipping Sparrow a widespread, modest and wonderful summer companion.
Really enjoyed this appreciative tribute to the humble chipping sparrow, Mike. The song video was great, and the photos highlighting its colorful markings were extra special.
Thanks Jet, They are not flashy but their songs do make summer a special time. Hope your dong well and wishing you a fine week ahead.
Sweet series – I esp. like the song-burst photo…. it really wouldn’t be summer without them!
Hi Eliza, like the Robin it is great to have a bird we can relate to even 3/4 of a continent away.
Yes, the world would be a sad place without little brown sparrows
The working mans bird.
Nice Pictures!
Thanks Sam. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
