This afternoon I spotted a Chipping Sparrow along our chain link fence. First of year.
Feeder is extremely busy with the same visitors, Downy Woodpecker has the most visit count next to the Cardinals.

Candid capture ... very natural-looking.  Shame about the fence.  I've heard a chipping sparrow, I think, but have not seen one yet.  A junco and a pine warbler can sound similar, with the former quieter and the latter high up somewhere near a conifer, while a chipping would be near the ground.  Nothing like being ready, camera nearby and shutter button finger well-trained but still retaining that lingering itch.
