Lincoln's Sparrow

Every year during spring migration, I get one lincoln's sparrow in my yard. Never more than one. They are one of our winter sparrows but they never drop by until just before time to migrate north for nesting season. I guess this one sparrow knows there is lots of food here to fill up on before the long journey.
