Spizella passerina
A crisp, pretty sparrow whose bright rufous cap both provides a splash of color and makes adults fairly easy to identify. Chipping Sparrows are common across North America wherever trees are interspersed with grassy openings. Their loud, trilling songs are one of the most common sounds of spring woodlands and suburbs.

Thanks Kranti!
awesome !
Thanks Alice!
Nice!
Springtime birding for warblers up here gets difficult once the leaves come out on the trees. Sounds like a nice trip and I'll be looking for your pictures.
I'll be out in east Texas, a bit southeast of Dallas. Great birds there if I can find them through all the trees haha
Thanks Ashley! They're not around for the winter and just started coming back a few days ago. Good luck this summer. Are you going along the Rio Grande?
Very pretty! I live in the one part of North America they don't live, so I have yet to find one. Hopefully this summer though!
