The Chipping Sparrow is a small, widespread North American sparrow recognized by its rufous cap and clear white supercilium. It is a common visitor to backyards and open woodlands.
Where to spot
Breeds across most of North America (Canada, U.S., Mexico). Winters in the southern U.S. and Central America. Found in open woodlands, parks, suburban areas, and cultivated land.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or in low shrubs. The rufous cap and white eyebrow are key field marks. Listen for its distinctive, unmusical chipping song.
When to spot
Common during spring and summer in its breeding range. Present in winter in southern parts of its range. Easiest to spot when singing actively.

Its song is a simple, dry, trilling 'chip-chip-chip', which sounds remarkably like an insect or a small sewing machine.
