First Chipping Sparrow of the Year
While hanging out at home today I noticed a small pale bird in the bushes, and it soon came in to my patio--my first Chipping Sparrow of the year. Always fun to keep track of the birds you see each year, so you can celebrate seeing old friends like this after a winter absence.

Charming bird, and handsome too, a real lady killer.
Can't wait until Chippers get to Montana. Sometimes I think hear one, but it invariably turns out to be a Dark-eyed Junco, which isn't so bad either.
Nothing beats a seasonal greeting from a loved feathered friend:)
Congrats! I have been on a watch for one. No luck yet, just Song Sparrows.
