We have a pair of Chipping Sparrows here on the Wolfville Ridge. A pair
usually appear annually, visit the feeders and disappear into the orchard
across the road, once in a while they reappear to feed.  The first one
arrived on April 30, the second one a couple of days later.  

 

Cheers, 

Judy Tufts

Subject: [NatureNS] Chipping Sparrow as a Rare Species ?

 

I always thought of Chipping Sparrow as a common species. Perhaps I just
wasn't paying attention, and always saw some without effort. Not this year.
I haven't seen one yet. I see in the just-released BBA that they are "rare"
in Western NS but I believe there is lots of good habitat in Kings Co.

 

A total of seven birds have been reported in Kings Co. on eBird since May
15th:

Many "good" species are far more common than this.
