I just saw two Fox Sparrows in the yard, and I haven't seen any since
November, so I assume they are incoming migrants. I don't usually see Fox
Sparrows until April, but in two other years I saw them on 15 March and 20
March, so these aren't extraordinarily early. With global warming, we
should get earlier and earlier spring dates of many species over time.
