I have at least 2 WT sparrows around my house. I here one singing constantly, 
and I saw one this morning (while the other was singing) coming to my feeders. 
I've also heard at least one in the downtown area around the Rupp Arena parking 
lot, singing his little heart out.

I am still hearing whitethroated sparrows in my yard.  I expect they will be 
heading north soon…  (Haven’t seen a junco in a while)

Subject: [ask] COOPER'S HAWKS
 
I had a pair of immature Cooper’s Hawks in and about the yard last night. They 
chased each other high and low, in and out, with lots of vocals. I assume their 
antics were courtship, but they were not mature birds. How long does it take 
for them to get adult plumage and to mate?
 
My chickens were flattened to the ground during their presence. I doubt a 
Cooper’s would take an adult chicken, but the Red-tailed that was eyeing them 
over the weekend most certainly had food on her mind.
