Lincon's Sparrow: On the new Tubman Road Trail in between trail markers 10
and 9. There were a lot of sparrows and I only saw 1 Lincon's.
If you are there, please stroll on down to area between markers 4 and 5, to
take a look at the warbler I saw and called Prairie, I could be wrong about it.
Here's what I saw:
It was on Tubman Road Trail, near section 4, the old homestead. In an open
brushy area backed by Loblolly Pines. I first spotted it flying from a tree next
to the trail down into the grass on the trail. It often shared the tree with a
Hermit Thrush. The last look I got was when it flew back into the pines.
It's breast was bright yellow.
It looked olive on the top.
It had streaks on the sides/flanks.
It had white outer feathers in the tail.
It pumped its tail.
I didn't see the eye area.
There was only one.
