I have had several hundred Am tree sparrow, white crowned sparrows, chipping sparrows, white throated sparrows in the yard over the last two weeks. The highlight has been 4 orange crowned warblers in the mix. I guess the sparrows have hung on the west side of the state for some wierd reason only they understand!

It included several Black-throated Green Warblers, single Magnolia, Tennessee and Orange- cr Warblers, single Swainson's, Gray-cheeked and Hermit Thrushes. Several flocks of Canada Geese flew over heading south. One had a Cackling Goose in it. So far no sparrows in the yard. Strange considering we are in the last week of the month. The strong front coming over the next several days should really move things southward.
