Great series Trudi. I don't think you have a Lincolns Sparrow there. Only a Song Sparrow It looks a little lighter than some Song Sparrows but I think it may be the light. Too bad about the Pied-billed. I once saw a Western Grebe like that at Boundary Bay.

Not only some very nice images Trudi, but I take my hat off to you for braving the cold and wind on the bay. You must have once been been a 'Northern or Prairie Girl". What part of Boundary Bay were the Brants?

Excellent pictures and sightings Trudi. I agree with Len that it is a Song Sparrow.
