I try to notice the first day of spring when I don't notice one of the winter feeder birds. Usually, I'm not very good at that. However, following Geo's comment on no Fox Sparrow, today is the first time in weeks that I haven't heard a Fox Sparrow at our feeder in the 45 minutes it takes to run our dog and fill the feeders. So, maybe 23 April is the end for lingering Fox Sparrow. I'll miss their beautiful song, but hope they are fat and healthy when they leave for the northern limits of the boreal forest.
