Thanks Liam!
Awesome! :)
Mom was on the nest when I checked this evening so I now have an ID!
Thanks Liam, I will keep an eye on it but it's at the end of the driveway 800' from the house so the chances are I won't get to see the mother unless I'm very lucky.
It could be a Song or Chipping Sparrow. If you can, try observing the shrub from a distance to see if there is any activity.
