 Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina)
Yesterday I heard this guy singing a weird trilling song in our yard. This species is an uncommon migrant on the West Coast of North America, but more common in the East. It's the first time I've seen one in our yard. This evening it showed up at the seed spill outside our family room window.This photo was taken through the window.
