Field Notes

Description:

Lincoln's Sparrows have fine streaking on the breast with a yellow wash. The side of the face is mostly gray with a rusty top of the head. When seen next to a Song Sparrow, the Lincoln's looks more delicate.

Notes:

Lincoln's Sparrows breed up north and we usually just see them during migration.
