Chipping sparrows are small, attractive songbirds that breed across the States together with Canada, wherever opened upward woodlands are found. Displaced from urban centers past times menage sparrows, they are however mutual inwards parks, suburbs together with undisturbed habitat.
Here along the Front Range urban corridor, chipping sparrows are primarily migrants together with close caput into the foothills to nest; in that location they prefer opened upward "ponderosa parklands" betwixt 7000 together with 8000 feet inwards elevation. Each spring, a few small-scale flocks of these travelers plough upward on are Littleton farm, stopping to residuum together with feed for a 24-hour interval or two; this week, large flocks (more than 60 individuals yesterday) bring appeared together with are hanging simply about to bring together the menage finches together with white-crowned sparrows that scour our weedy lawns.
I suspect their abundance on the Piedmont is a effect of the rainy weather condition that has enveloped the Front Range for the past times several days; having simply arrived from Mexico, they may endure waiting for less stormy conditions earlier heading into the mountains. From my perspective, both the pelting together with the chipping sparrows bring been to a greater extent than than welcome.
