The Lincoln's Sparrow is a small, migratory bird belonging to the family Emberizidae. It is primarily found in North America, especially in wetlands, grasslands, and shrubby areas. This sparrow has a distinctive streaked brown and gray plumage, with a notable pale breast and a dark spot in the center. Its song is a series of sweet, musical notes, often heard during the breeding season.
These sparrows typically breed in the northern United States and Canada, migrating south for the winter to areas like Mexico and the southern United States. They primarily feed on seeds and insects, foraging on the ground or in low vegetation. Their habitat preferences make them an important species for monitoring wetland health.
