Tweeters,

I am hoping for some enlightenment on the what, when, and where of Lincoln's
Sparrows in western Washington. The field guide write-ups tell me a little
but I would like a little more detail. What habitat are they most often
found in? What locations are good for seeing the species? What months find
them in Washington?

I know I have seen mention of Lincoln's Sparrows in a number of late
summer/early fall (?)bird lists but I have forgotten the details. I seem to
remember seeing mention of their being abundant in the tall grass on the
Nisqually delta, perhaps in October. Does this make sense?

Is it fairly easy to mistake one for a song sparrow?
