I have seen Lincoln's Sparrow relatively frequently at Marymoor Park
from September through the end of November, and from February through
the first week of May. I see them perhaps half the times I visit in
those months.

We saw several LISP at the Twin Barns at Nisqually on my October 5 ELWAS
field trip this year.

They tend to like bushy shrubby areas, staying in stuff under 8 feet
tall. At Marymoor, they are away from the water - most commonly seen
by the small footbridge on the E. part of the nature trail, or else near
the Pea Patch.
