On Friday, June 19th, Pottstown had a huge thunder and rain storm in the afternoon. So by 7:00 p.m. while I was taking a walk, there were birds all over the place trying to get the freshly displaced worms. I was going through a memorial garden that is a huge grass field with a few deciduous and evergreen trees spread throughout it. At first I thought this one was a chipmunk:
The Chipping Sparrow has almost the same coloration as a chipmunk, which is why I mistook it. Chipping Sparrows are small birds with brown feathers that have a tint of red to them (maybe that is called auburn?) The body and wing feathers are intermixed with white and black speckles, and they have a white belly. To differentiate these sparrows from others, I used the black eyeliner that they have on each side of their face.
