Banded

This little Chipping Sparrow was poking around on the ground below a bird feeder so there is a lot of spilled food around. I noticed that he was banded which really made me wonder where he had been traveling and where he had been caught and released. Cute isn't he?

    Nice find Pat. It is rare to see one with a band.

    That is interesting. I too wonder what the story is behind this little guy. He is a cute one.

    Great shot of this little sparrow. Always happy to see any sparrow that is not an English sparrow.

    Her certainly IS cute. I can't remember seeing a banded bird in the wild.

    They are long-distance migrants, though some stay in the southern USA all year - Great photo!
