[TN-Bird] Isn't he early?

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,
Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN (Charlotte Park, 5 or 6 blocks from the old Cleece's Ferry
Ramp)
