From my personal experience, the adult White-crowns leave about
this time of year. The immatures are just now undergoing molt
to adult plumage and tend to hang around longer. My rough
"average" last date from when I lived in Jefferson Co and had
them regularly was around 20 May. First edition of the Annotated
Checklist gives a late date of 1 June.
