In July 2021 I was with Judy in Horseheads, New York, near the southern end of Seneca Lake. I got up early for a 64 mile drive to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, five miles east of Seneca Falls at the northern end of Cayuga Lake. It was there that I saw my one and only, so far, Lincoln's sparrow.
It is a less common sparrow that is often hidden under thick ground cover and often near water. It is very secretive and often not seen or heard, even where they are common.
