Lincoln's Sparrow feeding under my nyger feeders in Canon City

[SeEttaM .]

Maybe others host Lincoln's Sparrows at their home feeders but don't post about it, but I was surprised to find one in my backyard today  foraging on the ground under my nyger feeders.  I often have White-crowned Sparrows that feed on the spilled nyger seed as well as perched on the hanging nyger feeders (clearly they are not always the ground feeders they are reported to be) in addition to finch species.  I have always found Lincoln's Sparrows in thick vegetation near the Arkansas River which is also where others have reported this species in Fremont County.  I am curious if others get these at their feeders.   I did get a few good photos of this pretty bird that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.
