Similar to our observations so far in Bethesda, Montgomery County.  Almost no House Finches and abundant House Sparrows.  Normal chickadee and titmouse numbers.

House Finches are totally absent from the backyard feeders this  winter.  
House Sparrows are more abundant.  There are also a lot of  chickadees and more 
the usual titmice.
