Yes! I would say they are being seen in greater numbers. We've had a similar variety in my yard here in Oberlin - maybe some of yours made their way north the past couple of days. :-) We had five white crowned sparrows in the yard this evening, three rose breasted grosbeaks (two males and one female), 10+ goldfinches, an oriole or two, and our first ruby throated hummingbird arrived at the beginning of the week. Loving it!
