Lincoln's Sparrow is a subtly beautiful sparrow, recognized by its fine streaking, buffy breast band, and often a delicate malar stripe. It is typically a shy and elusive bird.
Where to spot
Breeds in boreal forests and bogs across Canada and parts of the northern United States. Winters across the southern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Prefers dense wet meadows, bogs, willow thickets, and riparian corridors.
How to spot
Often difficult to see as it stays hidden in dense vegetation. Listen for its distinctive bubbling song. Look for its fine, sharp streaking on the breast and flanks, a buffy breast band, and a finely streaked crown.
When to spot
Breeds in summer (May-July). Migrates south in autumn (Sept-Nov) and north in spring (Mar-May). Most active and vocal at dawn and dusk.

Its song is often described as one of the most beautiful among North American sparrows, a complex, bubbling, and musical warble reminiscent of a House Wren.
