I can inform it’s fall as a result of warbler migration has given option to sparrows. The primary indication was an inflow of yellow-rumped warblers at Frick on 12 October, who arrive late in warbler migration, adopted by just a few white-throated sparrows on 15 October.

It’s sparrow time! Be part of me for a fowl & nature stroll in Schenley Park on Sunday, 26 October 2025, 8:30am – 10:30am. We’ll meet at Bartlett Shelter on Bartlett Avenue.

We’re positive to see fruits, seeds, and fallen leaves, acorns, chipmunks and blue jays. Will we discover white-throated sparrows? I positive hope so. See why beneath.

Gown for the climate and put on comfy strolling sneakers. Carry binoculars and subject guides when you have them.
