This is a baby Chipping sparrow that was in the rose bushes for a couple of days waiting to be big enough to fly. It was the coming and going of the parents that promted me to look deep into the bushes to see him. As adults these sparrows are small ,this guy was tiny I'd say 1 1/2 inhces top of head to tail. Then I was there a few days later when it finally flew, first to the lawn then to the side of the tree, stuck there and regrouped and flew into the woods. These birds are very common here and can be quite nosiey.
