Chipping sparrow Arapahoe Co.

[Mary Kay Waddington]

Heard the first trilling of a Chipping Sparrow for the year.  Tracked it down to make sure it wasn't a late Junco.  Hmm, a block from my house -- if I can still hear it on my property I can count it on this month's yard list.  Got to 50 yards from the property line and could still hear it -- then Mr. Cooper made his presence known.  Chipping Song wisely stopped.  Drat, can't add it.  Will have to wait a few days til one shows up actually in my yard.
