We have a small flock of White-crowned Sparrows in our yard every =
winter. Until this year we've always seen a good number (nearly half the =
total) of first-winter birds in the flock, but this year we have not =
seen one. I have seen mention of "juvenile" white-crowns in some posts =
so I assume there are first-winter WCSp in other areas of MD this year. =
Has anyone else seen a similar change this year, or is this just a local =
"variation"?

Loving this snow and the backyard show!
