05/18/2023 - I had my first memorable experience with the Lincoln's Sparrow at Pearsall Park in San Antonio. I heard a bird singing from a bush off the trail and I looked for it as it popped up and perched on a branch. It cooperated for nice pictures but I'm still waiting for an opportunity to record it.
