Hi Dee
My gentleman friend has very occasionally had 1 or 2 white-throated
sparrows in his Kingston backyard as early as September, but I seldom
see them out in my more wooded area until December.

Mornin',

While having my oatmeal and watching my outside feeders, I saw two
little 
brown birds fly up to a wire just above my deck.  The first one stayed
long 
enough for me to see that it was a lovely white throated sparrow; then
it gave its 
call which proved it to my amazed self.  By that time, the second bird
have 
flown, so I do not know if I had one or two of them.  Isn't it early for 
white-throats in Nashville?  It does seem that I went through this last
year, 
although every year before, I haven't had them until about Christmas
time.  It seems 
my juncoes were early last year too.  They had always been late
December/early 
January arrivals on my deck before.  Both species stayed seemingly very
late 
this past spring as well.  I remember wondering if they were going to
stay all 
summer!  Occasionally, I still have two of the field sparrow family that
took 
up here a couple or three months ago, probably the parents who came in
first. 
 One was on a feeder late yesterday.  I would suspect they have sent
their 
young packing--away from the free smorga-bird the parents enjoy so much.

Happy and blessed birding,
