Like the Red-eyed Vireo that I wrote about yesterday, two Chipping Sparrows (Spizella passerina) showed up at the birdbath yesterday afternoon as well. And like the Vireo, I’ve been hearing the distinctive rapid trilling which nearly sounds as if it’s from a machine – that sound that the Chipping Sparrows make. I didn’t have much hope of seeing them though.

But the birdbath won them over. Two of them splashing like little kids.

I’m pleased that they made a showing. I haven’t had a chance to get a photo of even one in several years.
