I don't expect anyone to remember this, but last spring I had a
White-throated sparrow in my backyard in south Berkeley (near Telegraph &
Ashby). It was last seen April 27 and was, in fact, the last zonotrichia
sparrow to depart. Well, I just saw a White-throated eating seeds on the
railing of my back deck. I can't be sure, but I have the feeling it's the
same bird that was here last spring. It's always amazing to me that these
birds can travel so far and then find their way back to the exact location
where they wintered (or bred!) previously.
