I got a call today from Cynthia Bravo, who asked me to post this. She was
looking around (unsuccessfully) for the Am White Pelican, but had a nice
consolation. Today a white crowned sparrow is at Merkle. She says they
have been absent there this winter (if you call it winter!) until now. They
normally are a reliable occurrence there in winter. I have not seen one since
fall migration. Same goes for purple finch.
