FOY Chipping sparrows and maybe grosbeak

[Frederica Musgrave]

Two chipping sparrows sited 3 pm Tuesday April 2 on ground under bushes where I'd tossed mixed seed.  My backyard is up above behind Ely Flower and Seed.  The 2 sparrows were outnumbered and indirectly chased away by constant presence of Starlings.

Around 3:10 pm, a larger bird with bright yellow belly flew across yard, flying from Feed & Seed direction going north/northeast.  I saw from corner of my eye, as I was focused on ground birds.  I believe it probably was an evening grosbeak.  I'm hoping it will come back and stay awhile.
