As Lisa,points out, one can always benefit from starting with a species
search on eBird for a particular time frame when dealing questions of this
nature.  Year, location, and month can all be manipulated for your search.
If you haven't started using eBird, check it out.

According to eBird, the first WTSP and DEJU were seen on 10/15.

It is now October 18, exceeding October 17 in my records for first white
throated sparrow arrival. So far we have seen no white-throated sparrows.
Where are they? In fact we are not getting that many birds, and most of
them are either cardinals or house finches.

Thanks Jim!     I'll get some millet seed this week.

I reviewed our bird records and found the average arrival of
white-throated sparrows is October 12. For the years from 2009 to 2016, for
each year, the arrival date in October was 13,11,17,9,10,13,8,16, so the
earliest they arrived was 2015 October 8, and the latest was 2016 October
16.

When do the white-throated sparrows usually start arriving?

Thanks,
