Description
Lincoln’s sparrow is named after Thomas Lincoln, who was the travelling companion of John James Audubon who first identified the species.
The juvenile, female and male Lincoln’s sparrow all have a very similar plumage.
The song of Lincoln’s sparrow is a rich warble (2) (3), which varies between high and low pitches throughout (3). The call is a sharp ‘tep’ or ‘chip’ (2).
Young Lincoln’s sparrows only learn to fly six days after leaving the nest.
If a female Lincoln’s sparrow is disturbed while building a nest, it is likely that she will abandon it.
