Saw my first ever White-Crowned Sparrow yesterday. There was a pair under my feeder and scratching through the mulch.
I did some research online and found they are not permanent to the St. Louis area. They winter here and farther south, but breed up in Canada. The only resident WCSparrows are in the Pacific Northwest.
They start appearing in April here, but peak in May. By Memorial Day, they are extremely scarce. So, I hope to see these guys this winter along with my Juncos. They were neat to watch for the 10 minutes I had the chance.
I haven't had a chance to get my feeder station plans moving forward. But, pics will follow when I do.
