We've had two Chipping Sparrows visiting our backyard feeder in Rocky River since April 1. Well, this evening 4/19 at 6:20PM, they threw a party. Ten of their friends showed up and we had at least twelve Chipping Sparrows in our yard for about a half hour. Then most of them left. I had just started raining shortly before this, so I'm thinking maybe they came down with the rain.
