### **Description**

The Lincoln's Sparrow is marked by a gray-brown back, streaked with darker brown and rust-colored feathers. The breast and sides are buffy with fine streaks, gradually fading into a pale whitish belly. The face features a distinctive grayish-brown crown with a faint, narrow eye ring.

### **Experiences &amp; anecdotes**

**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.
