Lincoln's sparrow        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Lincoln's sparrows are small, neatly-colored birds that breed in the north and winter in the southern US.   They look somewhat like song sparrows, but have neat, thin lines on a buffy breast (not the dark spot of the song sparrow) and a large gray 'eyebrow'.   The photos were taken near Homer, Alaska; in Potter Marsh near Anchorage, Alaska, in Madera Canyon and Patagonia in southeastern Arizona. and in California.
