Ok,
Last night I had a sparrow show up under the feeder that I'm about 95% sure was a
Lincoln's Sparrow, one thing this bird did that might help confirm this is it did the two
foot shuffle scratching for food like Fox, White-throated, and White-crowned do, I don't
recall ever seeing a Chipping Sparrow do this and it's also a little early to see juvenal
Chipping Sparrows, I have one nesting across the street and the chicks are only a few days
old.
I didn't get a great long look at this bird but it did the two foot shuffle a few times,
it had fine streaks on the breast mostly on the sides with a very small spot on the chest
and had the broad gray supercilium and I'm pretty sure I remember the slight eye ring.
>From the get-go this bird just stuck out when I saw it fly in, the only other Lincoln's
I've seen was at Hawk Ridge.
I welcome some opinions as this would be a new yard and county for me..
Andrew
