[va-bird] Chipping Sparrow

Hello again VAbirders,

The snowy weather drove even more birds to our feeders today.  While 
putting out seed/suet I glanced up to see a Chipping Sparrow watching 
me.  It was sitting in a shrub at about my head high, perhaps 8' from me 
and watching me fill the feeders.  "Hello and Merry Christmas little bird, 
what are you doing here?"  I can't ever recall seeing a Chipping Sparrow in 
our yard in December, and geewhiz, on Christmas!

And our monster bush was decorated with living Blue Jay ornaments as 11 of 
the beauties perched in a tight cluster at the top of the shrub.  I've 
never seen that phenomena before either.  Snow makes for fun yardbirding!

Best wishes,
