This is a Chipping Sparrow. They are not rare but I don’t see them very often. It could be that I don’t pay enough attention. For example, this particular bird had to be pointed out to me by another photographer. As an aside, about a week after I took this pic, I was at a friends house being socially distant on her patio. As we sat there, I must have seen about eight of these little guys visiting my friend’s bird feeders. Rather than go out to my truck to retrieve my camera, I just sat there and enjoyed the show. JK

He’s cute! I can’t say for sure if I have ever seen one except in pictures. I think they must hide in crowds of house sparrows to blend.
Different species of sparrows can be hard to differentiate. There’s a lot of them. JK.
And these guys like to blend — little sparrow spies.
🙂 JK.
