It does seem that the WTSP have almost vanished overnight. A small group of
4-8 White-throated Sparrows has been visiting my feeder since early winter:
this morning there were none. (I finally did hear one singing in the
distance).

Instead, a single White-crowned Sparrow and 2 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks have
visiting the feeder this week.

This morning, slightly to the north in Freedom Park (Carroll County ~1 mile
from here), I saw a group of about 15-20 WTSP along with a single Dark-eyed
Junco (only sighting for over a week). I wish them a safe journey.

On Tuesday morning at Tuckahoe State Park and Adkins Arboretum, White
Throated Sparrow were numerous and singing.  On Thursday morning, same
places, I neither saw nor heard one.  I had just one at the feeders at my
home this evening.  It appears they have departed.
