Lark Sparrow (Jefferson)

[W. Robert Shade III]

I spotted a Lark Sparrow near my back yard this morning (3/13) on the edge of the Hayden Green Mountain Park. I did not think much of it until I checked eBird and see that this is an unusually early record. Also a Lincoln's Sparrow was at my feeders two days last week but this is not so unusual. Is global warming producing earlier arrivals of summer birds?
