Hi Dave & everyone,
There has also been an invasion of Cassin's Sparrows into central Kansas in areas where they are seldom if ever recorded. Right now there are numerous singing males at Cheyenne Bottoms, Quivira NWR and, oddly enough, in the Wichita metro area. So while Front Range birders are seeing them NW of their core breeding range, here in Kansas we are seeing them 50-100 miles E of their usual summering locations. I agree that it's always risky to assign cause-and-effect, but it's also easy to imagine that many of these errant Cassin's arrived in their usual habitats on the High Plains, realized that it hadn't rained since last fall, and decided to just keep on going.
