I'm not going to be doing the stream after all. Instead, I recorded a patch-from-scratch to celebrate earth's odometer rolling on to the next digit, and I'll post it to my devlog thread once youtube is done processing it in about a half hour or so.
This is a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), which I suspect has the largest population around here at the moment — though the goldfinches might have them beat. Hard to say for sure. There’s no official count, just what the eyes and ears suggest.
If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!
