Well, for those of you that don’t know, I am an avid bird watcher. I am pretty much going to be out observing these beautiful creatures anytime I can. I had an opportunity recently to travel to Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge on the Georgia side. My birding partner and I were there to catch a glimpse of a specific bird, the rare Lincoln’s Sparrow. I had never seen one before, so I wanted to add it to my life list. It had just been found there a few days earlier. We waited and waited. Patience is definitely a virtue in birdwatching! We waited for at least 2 hours beginning half an hour before sun-up. Finally, success! This shy sparrow showed itself with its very subtle coloration and fine streaking that sets it apart from other sparrows. We got good looks, snapped some photos and were off to our next birding adventure!
