KJS-LES Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 NYC May 19 I didn't recognize it even as a Sparrow when I saw it. Looking at video today, I'm wondering if it's a Savannah or Lincoln because every few years I've seen both in this area. Not enough color in the video to see clear markings -- except for the tan curve on its neck under its eye, which could mean Lincoln's. (The vid-caps aren't enhanced.) Thanks.

PalmWarbler Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Lincoln's I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Definitely a Lincoln's. Savannahs are tan and white, Lincoln's are brown, buff, and blue-gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJS-LES Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Thanks all. Bird Nuts - In the photo, it looks tan and white to me. I'll keep in mind the " brown, buff, and blue-gray" when I edit/enhance the photo and the video. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the streaking below is too neat and thin for Savannah. The streaking on Lincoln's is ALWAYS laid over the buff portions of the underparts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
