Consistent Juncos

[Bill Grabin]

Had our first Junco of the Fall show up in our yard today, which was the same date we had them last year (10/15/23) and one day later than 10/14/22.  I wish I could be that dependable!  Bill

Really nice. Thanks Bill for posting to this list.    Mine came  2/3 days ago. Feeding on the ground. Love them. Had my first American Tree Sparrow today.  2 beautiful White-throateds have been here about a week.

Banding studies in the past have shown that the Juncos which show up at your feeders are generally the same individuals year after year, of course with new birds added each year born this year. While this is not true for White-throated Sparrows. Those seen each year are mostly different. Clearly nothing is exactly 100% true but Juncos and White-throats follow very different patterns.
