Leaning towards Chipping Sparrow, though it appears to have streaked flanks (which Chipping shouldn't!)

Lincoln's Sparrow Melospiza lincolnii > [HYPERLINK@www.enature.com] .. & > [HYPERLINK@www.enature.com] Altho' I've yet to find any info/resources that specifically mention [their] having a 'crest-like something' atop of their heads of which they can 'raise & lower' at will - - the Lincolns' do have it and use it frequently! This same lil leary bird sure had me baffled, for the longest time also! - Magpye pelletory Marlton, NJ August 5, 2007 3:18 PM Post #3821020 Nice pic of the Chipping Sparrow, Frank!
