For several years I have been tracking the departure dates (usually in early 
May) of one of my favorite winter residents, the White-throated Sparrow.  At 
least one was still here yesterday, but this morning the first sparrow that I 
saw, to my surprise, was his close cousin, the White-crowned Sparrow.
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are still here in numbers, making a substantial dent 
in my sunflower budget.  Their appetites are as big as their beaks!  But my 
wife Janey and I are not complaining; they are delight to watch.
