 Mad Birder Bill Martin got these great shots in Warren, Vermont as the first snow of the season blanketed the Mad River Valley on this mid October morning.  We will see the Juncos and Nuthatches all winter long, but these may be our last glimpses of the sparrows until the Spring.  The White Crowned sparrows normally leave in late October, and the White Throated sparrows fly the coop in late November.
