I have had one rose breasted grosbeak in my yard for the past three days. I too have noticed a larger number of both juncos and white throated sparrows still hanging around my feeders. It seems late to me for them to still be here.

Both are short-distance migrants so they don’t have far to go to get to breeding grounds. And of course, migrants are moving through.

Juncos and WT sparrows are still around. I thought they were usually
gone by now. Any input. Also, anyone seen rose breasted grosbeaks yet?

When I lived at the top of South Mt in Wolcott we would frequently get larger flocks of migrating juncos and white-throated sparrows until Mid-May. I specifically remember a flock of 25 White-throats on May 15th being a high late season count. I always suspected the higher altitude played a role in that.
