Daily Postcard: A thirsty little Chipping Sparrow sips water from the fountain of a garden Tuesday at a residence on Barranca Mesa. Chipping Sparrows feed on the ground, take cover in shrubs, and sing from the tops of small trees, often  evergreens. When on the ground, Chipping Sparrows hop or run through grasses searching for seeds. Source: allaboutbirds. Photo by Selvi Viswanathan
