Rust-Crowned Sentinel

Every time I spot a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), its subtle earth-toned plumage and rust-colored cap remind me of military camouflage—giving these little birds an unexpectedly rugged appearance. During the winter and early spring, they seemed to be everywhere, their numbers in the hundreds. Now, only a handful remain, occasionally seen foraging on the ground. I read that their diet shifts with the seasons, transitioning from seeds in the colder months to insects in the warmth of spring and summer.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

@[email protected] I can't see the pictures, as I am totally blind. But if your other posts are as wonderfully detailed as this one, I am going to really enjoy following you!

Please do, I almost always fill in the Alt Text and if for whatever reason I don't initially do that, I try to go back later and fill it in.
