Chipping Sparrows feed on the ground, take cover in shrubs, and sing from the tops of small trees (often evergreens). You’ll often see loose groups of them flitting up from open ground. When singing, they cling to high outer limbs. On the ground they hop or run through grasses searching for seeds. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Chipping_Sparrow/id
Chipping Sparrows appear in my yard during the winter. I’m glad I looked this bird up and listened to its song because I have been hearing a trilling bird sound in my trees and didn’t know which bird was making the sound. Now I know it is the Chipping Sparrow. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Chipping_Sparrow/sounds
