An uncommon spring and fairly common fall migrant throughout the region. It is an irregular winter resident in riparian habitats, particularly along the Colorado River, where it may be fairly common in some years. Lincoln’s Sparrows were found breeding at two small lakes on the Kaibab Plateau on 27 Jul 1997 (Corman 2005h). Most spring migrants occur in April and May, but some may be seen into early June. Fall migrants are present from early September to early October. Conditions may vary among subspecies. Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
