We have been wondering when we will see our first WC and Juncos.

Jennifer,
Tonight at dusk, I heard a lot of WCs around the yard. They are happy with
this habitat it seems. Thank you for your feedback.

That’s really interesting, Glenda! I generally see more immatures/1st
winter white-crowneds than adults during the winter here (usually a few
adults are among lots of immatures). I believe I’ve heard that in some
species younger birds are pushed out of prime habitats by adults, but I
don’t know whether that is only during the breeding season or year-round.
Now you have me thinking about habitat selection and use…

I don’t think I’ve ever noted a 1st Winter (Aug-Apr) White-crowned
Sparrow until this morning. I have a group of WCs who feed early and late
when there aren’t a lot of other birds feeding. The 1st Winter bird really
stood out from the others by appearance.
