Re: [cobirds] Chipping Sparrow Breeding Zone in Littleton?

Take these anecdotal observations for what they're worth, but around Denver and Arapahoe County (Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, and Centennial, etc.), Chipping Sparrows seem to be present throughout the summer in areas where there are fairly thick collections of conifers (spruces, I think, but now I'm just making up memories of where I've seen these birds). 

Just a week ago, I heard one singing at Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver. And an eBirder reported juveniles present at the Gardens at the end of June.

Lynne,

The elevation is not unusual per se. Chipping Sparrow is local and very patchily distributed as a breeder in the southern region of the urban metro area, and at some localities they seem only sporadically present to nest, while at others they are very regular.

I have a juvenile Chipping Sparrow and at least 3 adults in my yard today - Littleton, east Jeffco at ~5600'. The adults have been around since May. I normally associate them with nesting higher in the foothills. Is this lower elevation usual?
