As in past winters, I have recorded the presence of 1-3 whitethroats at
my feeders from November to April in my regular two-weekly Project
Feederwatch reports over the past winter. Other sparrow sightings were rare.

<pre wrap=""> Jim,
You are right, usually some do overwinter in the area. But most sparrows were very scarce in my experience this winter (except for Song Sparrows), and numbers were down on the Christmas Bird Counts that I participated in. I had no White-throats at all on my route for the Bedford-Sackville CBC, which includes my parents' neighbourhood.
Until yesterday, I hadn't seen any since the Halifax-Dartmouth CBC, when I had just three in a full day of birding on foot in good habitat.
Cheers,
Patricia

I heard and saw my first White-throated Sparrows of the year yesterday evening at my parents' home in Bedford. They breed in our woods.
