This page is for the Lincoln’s Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii). My first photographic evidence occurred on June 8, 2010 hiking one of the trails at Mt. Rainier, Washington. This little bird was difficult to spot, but fortunately I was able to get this photo before it flew away.

The photograph below are the other representative examples of a Lincoln’s Sparrow that I have taken.
