Have noted various mentions of chipping sparrows so wanted to report
that "my" pair of the adorable little guys has been back for about a
week. I'm hoping mightily that they find a well-hidden nesting place
this year like they must have last year. Last year they raised at
least 2 young chippers, while in each of the two years before that they
managed to raise a cowbird. What a sad sight that is to see the little
chipper mom (or dad) madly stuffing food into this giant flapping
fledgling!
