The white-crowned sparrow is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. [5] It has been sighted in England, Scotland, [5] [6] Ireland, [7] and Norway. [8] In 2008 a white-crowned sparrow was spotted in Cley next the Sea in Norfolk, England. [9] To commemorate the event an image of the bird was included in a window at St Margaret's Church.
The chipping sparrow lays a clutch of two to seven pale blue to white eggs with black, brown, or purple markings. They are about 17 by 12 millimetres (0.67 by 0.47 in), and incubated by the female for 10 to 15 days. [7] The chipping sparrow is often brood parasitized by brown-headed cowbirds, usually resulting in the nest being abandoned. [6]

The terms "passerine" and "Passeriformes" are derived from the scientific name of the house sparrow, Passer domesticus, whose genus is the Latin word for sparrow. [7] Formerly this meant the songbirds of Europe. Now it also includes perching, non-singing birds from the Americas. [8]
