Subject: Re: [pen-bird] Absence of Fox Sparrows
The eBird Status and Trends report shows a steep decline (>25%) over their entire range between 2012 and 2022.  After 2022, it appears that 2024 was a particularly bad year. Here are the number of checklists with Fox Sparrows and number of individual Fox Sparrows reported each year in San Mateo County (stats from Birdview).

#checklists    #birds
2020    1159           2923
2021    1266           2725
2022    1291           3206
2023    1053           2124
2024      599           1307

I haven't had one in my yard since 2019.  Worrisome.
