This morning, my first-of-the-season VARIED THRUSH made a brief appearance
in the neighbor's apple tree. I also had a very white DOWNY WP that
appeared to be from an interior west population. I wonder if the weather
is forcing individuals from Central OR into the Willamette Valley.
To answer Barbara's question about Fox Sparrows in the southern end of the
Valley, I have not noticed a difference in the seven years I've lived here.
However, I've been hosting at least two WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS for the
past month or so. That's four of the past five winters now. They're
definitely becoming locally common in appropriate habitat (i.e., urban
feeders).
