Chipping Sparrow at feeder in backyard

I was watching birds in my backyard in suburban South Burlington, when I noticed that there was something other than a Dark-eyed Junco on the ground under the feeder. I grabbed my binoculars and it turned out to be a Chipping Sparrow. We occasionally have Chipping Sparrows in winter, but this was the first this winter. I got my camera and was able to get an identifiable picture.

The observation occurred at 1:59 PM and the bird remained under the feeder for 7 minutes.
