Chipping Sparrow



















This bird had me confused for quite some time. I finally realized that it is a chipping sparrow and they look slightly different in the winter than in the summer. This bird was so funny to watch. In the first picture, it was just trying to jump from the ground up to the first step, but with the snow it made it impossible. He tried for at least ten minutes.
They will come to feeders for suet or seeds, but in the summer eat mostly fruits and insects.
