My yard, too, has had an extraordinary number of white-crown sparrows this spring. I haven't tried to count them, but they're all around-;under the feeders, foraging on the lawn, and flitting in the trees. Right now, except for robins, I think they're outnumbering everything. They are fun to watch!

I have never seen more than a single one, maybe once a year, in my yard in 17 years. Then I spotted a Wilson's Warbler, who flitted around my small tree briefly. Anyone else experiencing a bounty of white crowns? They are a delight to see.
