Lincoln's Sparrow

Lincoln's Sparrows are Fairly Common from September-April.

Habitat

During migration, they can be found in dense, moist thickets, and in the winter, they inhabit grassy, weedy, and brushy areas, especially those with exotic reed canary grass, thistle, and blackberries, often near wetlands.

Behavior

They do not join flocks of their own species, but one or two are often found flocking with other sparrows in winter and during migration. These secretive birds feed on the ground under cover in dense blackberry tangles and other brush.
