[EBB Sightings] Lincoln's Sparrows

Look for Lincoln's Sparrow in weedy fields, especially damp weedy fields with tall grass, and wet
ditches with tall grasses and reeds.

I usually detect their thin buzz call.  They are far more prone to stay hidden than Song Sparrows.

Have I been missing these birds in the general crowd all these years?  Have they been found in any of the Oakland hills locations?  I'm now scrutinizing my Song Sparrows but would like to know if Lincoln's are a possibility here.

Thank you for any input you can provide.
