[EBB Sightings] White-Crowned Sparrows - earlyish

I'm quite sure what I am seeing in my yard, both White- and Gold-Crowned
Sparrows, are earlier-than-usual migrants.  The ones who come to my yard for
the winter usually show up about yesterday's date, spend the winter, and
then migrate back to their breeding grounds in the spring.  They feed at our
platform feeder and on the ground below our hanging feeders, observable from
the kitchen window.  They are definitely not residents in my yard.
