I was surprised to see a White-crowned Sparrow foraging in my driveway.
The bird appeared healthy and aggressively chased a female house sparrow
(foraging on its own) when it got too close.
Peterjohn (2001) states "The last spring migrants usually depart by May
20-25, although stragglers remain through the end of the month."
My yard is at the western edge of Sandusky, just south east of Medusa
Marsh.
