Looking at a white throated at my feeder right now. My yellow rump and
hermit thrush are still here too.

My last White-throated Sparrow was seen at my feeder on May 1. *Virginia’s
Birdlife: An Annotated Checklist* (Fourth Edition), the “Yellow Book”

What is the spring date this year or previous recent spring dates that you
have seen the last White-throated Sparrows in the Richmond Metro Area? If
your departure dates for the North are much earlier than May 20, I would
think this is another sign of global warming?
Thanks,
