Subject: [cobirds] Chipping Sparrow Question? - Metro Area
Hi COBIRDERS,

Where: Suburban neighborhoods just west of the Denver Tech Center, Arapahoe County

When: First 3 week of June 2025

I have found a number of adult Chipping Sparrows in our neighborhoods and parks each week of June this year. They should already be nesting up in the Ponderosa Pine forests of the Front Range.

Today I found one "carrying food".

Question: Are others also finding Chipping Sparrows seemingly nesting in the Metro Area this year or in the last couple of years.

As Bob Righter pointed out a bunch of years ago, at that point Red-breasted Nuthatches had become year round residents of the Metro Area. The same with Bushtits. Are we now seeing a change with Chipping Sparrows?

Thanks, Chris Blakeslee
