I've been birding near River Rd near Terence Bay the past few mornings. I
haven't come across anything particularly uncommon, but have heard several
(3 in a smallish area) Lincoln's Sparrows in the area around the green arrow
on the map below (in a barren-like area with low brush). I don't come across
them a whole lot, but perhaps they are locally common in these barren-type
areas near the coast. These barren/open areas a great place to listen for
birds, as sound travels pretty far there on a calm day. I'm there searching
for Hermit Thrush, and they really seem to like the edges of these areas--I
assume because they are ideal for sound transmission.
