Lincoln’s Sparrow at Greenbury Point

It was warm, heading quickly toward hot and humid this morning. I decided to try Greenbury Point for a change, and it was barely OK.

The sunrise wasn’t particularly spectacular, and the birds weren’t much to talk about either, with the exception of the Lincoln’s Sparrow, a bird that;s been rare for me.
