Larry called me to our bay window to quickly look at a CHIPPING SPARROW. As I was grabbing my bins to look--but in the opposite direction--I spotted a FOX SPARROW!! In the meantime the rest of the birds were flushed, and I have been waiting for the chipper to come back, so I could see it for myself and get a more accurate ID. (Larry is fairly confident that it was a Chipper.) In meantime, Fox sparrow remains. --
