Bill, Larry, et al, Eastern White-crowned Sparrows (EWCS formerly WCSP) remain here although numbers drop day by day to where we have only a half dozen in the feeder area. White-throated Sparrows are now mostly gone although a few were here through Sunday.
In the 30 years we banded here EWCS have been an annual treat spring and fall. With only one exception in the early 90s, they stopover here for about a month in both migrations.
