Certain species are missing entirely at my house. We have yet to get our first
Chestnut-backed Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers, for instance. I suspect that
the weather was so nice for so long that some species haven't moved down from
the hills yet.

Fox Sparrows were late at Marymoor, and I suspect the reasons were the same.

We have plenty of Black-capped Chickadees and House Finches...
