Lincoln’s Sparrows are widespread breeders through much of Alaska south of the Brooks Range.
Their normal breeding range does not extend out to the coast of the Bering Sea or into the base of the Alaska Peninsula however, and the species is merely casual on offshore Bering Sea Islands and the Aleutians.
The breast and flanks of Lincoln’s Sparrows are finely streaked and suffused with a buffy wash; in addition, the species shows a wide supercilium, and often a slight crest.
