The Lincoln's Sparrow (Melospiza
lincolnii) is a widespread and common bird across much of North America. It winters across Texas and can sometimes be found in large numbers. The top bird on this page was taken of a migrant in April, 1995 in Starr Co., Texas with a tripod-mounted Canon T-90 and Sigma 500mm F4.5 lens with a 1.4X extender on Fuji Sensia 100. The next shot is a wintering bird in Kenedy Co., Texas, in February, 2000. That shot was taken with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 600mm F/4 L lens and 1.4X extender on Fuji Velvia. The next two shots are of a territorial male at Red Rocks Lake N.W.R., Beaverhead Co., Montana, in June, 2001. Those images were taken with the same gear as the Kenedy Co., Texas shot.
