A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
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."-Cornell Lab of Ornithology
First photograph of this species in my yard.
