All day Tuesday I watched a chipping sparrow come to the window feeder at my office off of Broad Street east of Mt. Carmel East Hospital. Yes, a chipping sparrow. I tried hard to turn it into a tree sparrow, but it refused and remained tiny (the size of a chickadee) and clear breasted. A nice visitor to start the first workday of 2012. Good birding!
