Lincoln's Sparrow

This rare Lincoln's Sparrow today was not far from the spot where the Vesper Sparrow, pictured below, was yesterday. It was smaller than the Song Sparrows with it and the very obvious whitish eye-ring, slight crest, small bill, gray face and black streaking on the back show up well, even though the picture was shot through the car windshield. The pose doesn't show the extensive fine dark streaking that was below. Hundreds of sparrows are feeding along roads in this snowy area.
