Ted et al,
To back up your report here, Ted, for the first summer in the last several, Chipping Sparrows did NOT breed at Grandview Cemetery in 2013. I heard my first one since late spring there yesterday (the 19th). I also have had them on the 17th and 18th in the High Park Fire area west of Fort Collins (lower Rist Canyon) on a hillside where I am pretty sure they did not breed (charcoal black trees only). I was up there collecting insects attracted to the dead trees (buprestid beetles, cerambycid beetles, robber flies with larval stages that feed on rotten wood, parasitoid wasps, etc.).

For the past 2.5 hours this Saturday morning, July 20th, there's been a slow but steady night flight of Chipping Sparrows over Lafayette, eastern Boulder County.
In July adult Chipping Sparrows begin migrating to molting grounds in eastern Colorado and western Kansas (and presumably elsewhere). Many migrate by night, and their piercing flight calls, once learned, are distinctive--and one of the characteristic sounds of summer nights in the Front Range metro region.
