melospiza lincolnii

  1. Lincoln's Sparrow

    Lincoln's Sparrow

    A fairly common winter visitor and migrant in Texas. They prefer wet weedy fields but are shy and rather elusive. The buffy coloration across the chest is a helpful field mark. The similar Song Sparrow is better known and more widespread, but does not normally occur in southern Texas.

    I quite like the look of this sparrow with the coffee-colored wash on its chest and face. Second only to the lark sparrow in terms of beauty, in my opinion.

    Lincoln's Sparrow

    This bird has an odd duck-like appearance that folks in the ID forum attributed to an immature status. It was found in the same patch of brambles as Fox, Song, and White-crowned sparrows.

    Lincoln's Sparrow

    This species breeds in Boreal regions of North America and winters south to Middle America. They winter fairly commonly in Texas where they prefer wet weedy fields. However its shy habits make it more elusive compared to the similar and more familiar Song Sparrow. Lincoln's Sparrow is more...
