There has been a big push of migrating swamp sparrows into our area and I believe that's what these two are. Yesterday I had a first ever Lincolns Sparrow in the yard.

Ditto to juv. Chippings - they have streaked breasts, like Swamp but unlike adult Chipping. But the dark eye line continues right up to the bill, which it doesn't on Swamp.
