A CHIPPING SPARROW IN THE YARD LOOKING LIKE SHE HAS A LOT OF EGGS ...OR JUST COLD AND PUFFED UP



I've never seen this particular bird in my yard before.  In fact here ...where I live there are no species of sparrows that  I've  seen in my yard.  In a different location I use to get lark sparrows and at least a few others species.  So this is a first sighting for me.

First it was puffed up on a branch (it's been mushy mix of snow/rain and in the 30's ..or maybe the  bird is  pregnant.  I don't know if this is a male or female.  The bird  moved down to the  house and doesn't look as fat in those pics.

I only realized after taking the pic the wire was hanging down.  I'll have to fix it after the storm moves out..

Oh my gosh, I love her little house. And the little Santa-style had on her head.

I have always thought that if I was a bird, I would be a sparrow!
Happy Easter!
