Chipping sparrow
These little guys showed up a couple weeks ago. They are frequent visitors to my feeders, but they flit about so fast they're difficult to capture. This shot doesn't show it very well, but they have a distinctive reddish (rufous) cap. What this photo does show well is another distinctive characteristic: a white eyebrow with a black stripe running through the eye.
