When I lived at the top of South Mt in Wolcott we would frequently get
larger flocks of migrating juncos and white-throated sparrows until
Mid-May. I specifically remember a flock of 25 White-throats on May 15th
being a high late season count. I always suspected the higher altitude
played a role in that.
