Another new discovery yesterday! This is a Chipping Sparrow and I was lucky enough to get a shot while it was on this Bald Cypress tree next to a pond. Beautiful sight!

Info below from allaboutbirds.org
Summer Chipping Sparrows look clean and crisp, with frosty underparts, pale face, black line through the eye, topped off with a bright rusty crown. In winter, Chipping Sparrows are subdued, buff brown, with darkly streaked upperparts. The black line through the eye is still visible, and the cap is a warm but more subdued reddish brown.
