It would be interesting to compare the first arrival dates in the area and
dates in your yard. Maybe there’s a pattern.

Our first white-throated sparrow arrived this morning. It arrived two days--
later than the previous latest arrival (so now this year is the latest) and
a week later than the average date.

I heard my first Dark-eyed Junco yesterday and heard two this morning.
Still waiting on my first White-throated Sparrow but I’m sure it’s not far
behind.

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.

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?
