Where are the juncos? This is the end of our third year here. I think
that the White-crowned Sparrows and Juncos arrive together in the
spring then disappear, then come through together again in the fall on
their way south. This year we have a number of White-crowns, not a lot
but always some. The first one arrived 5/11. I have seen exactly one
Junco, on 5/14. I haven't seen Juncos on my walks around the lake or
the rest of the town either. Any idea where they are? We do have a
lot of Chipping Sparrows, as always, lovely tiny little birdies.
And I saw another Pine Siskin today - are they usually gone by now?
And I see there was a late redpoll somewhere this week, and a snow
bunting - maybe they think it's still winter, feels like it anyway,
surely not like late May.
