Perhaps they were from much further north. Migration is not a fixed thing for sure.

I heard only the chirping of chickadees, but not many. I heard a flutter in the bush and waited to see what it was...oddly enough it was a robin. I haven't seen a robin in weeks.

The chipping sparrows are still here. The dees and nuttys are busy caching seeds. I do have jays that visit everyday and all winter. I will have to look into their migratory habits.
