I haven't been able to get out and bird for several weeks now—all
these posts about Willets, Avocets & Godwits are killing me—but I do
pay attention to what's around the yard. Today I, too, had a White-
crowned Sparrow. It was joined briefly by a handsome but agitated
looking Lincoln's Sparrow, a species I missed last year, to top
things off.
