For Queens people not ready to go out of their way to see just a Lincoln's Sparrow (or for anyone that would), there's currently one in the planted meadow across the street from the east end of Oakland Lake (Alley Pond Park). It seems to get up on a perch and call from time to time. It's visible at these times - certainly not when it goes down to the ground. I might put up a picture tonight, since I haven't done anything of that sort in a while.
