Jim,

You are right, usually some do overwinter in the area.=C2=A0 But most sparr=
ows were very scarce in my experience this winter (except for Song Sparrows=
), and numbers were down on the Christmas Bird Counts that I participated i=
n. I had no White-throats at all on my route=C2=A0 for the Bedford-Sackvill=
e CBC, which includes my parents' neighbourhood.=20

Until yesterday,=C2=A0 I hadn't seen any since the Halifax-Dartmouth CBC, w=
hen I had just three in a full day of birding on foot in good habitat.

Cheers,

Patricia
