I have a large family of Chipping Sparrows here in my yard this year, as I do every year. And one of these. So something has been going on in the bushes, or.....

Thanks Sharon and Gail. LOL, I was sitting here watching him in that seed dish for several minutes before I realized there was something different about him. And then the camera was mounted on the microscope. As soon as he left, I got the camera ready for when he came back. He's been back a number of times since. :)

That is indeed very interesting Mitch, I'm kinda thinking like you, a bit of tomfoolery in the bushes. Please send my chipper friends back before it gets too cold up there!
Nice shots Mitch, kinda cool looking little guy!

Thanks Bret. Well, you know, after watching those Brown Headed Cowbirds work, you have to wonder. LOL

An outstanding color variation of the little guy Mitch... I have never seen one with that combination before, interesting capture. Mine have all left the nest now, so I should see some getting fed shortly.

Thanks Dave. I have been watching pretty close, and he is the only one around with those markings. I do see one scruffy looking Chickadee hanging around though, so it's hard to tell. LOL
