Rosemary

I identified a Lincoln's Sparrow in my backyard this week. I was excited to identify it and have this course in part to credit with inspiring me. I have heard this bird's song many times, but wasn't sure what it was until it, and its apparent mate, landed within 2 feet of me in our cedars. I went to the All About Birds site, as well as my Birds of North America book, and confirmed its identity with visual and sound. The more common birds in our neighborhood are Cardinals, black-capped chickadees, white-throated sparrows, starlings, pigeons, crows, and a pair of Cooper's Hawks. I live in central Ottawa, in Ontario, Canada.
