Dettagli dell'osservazione

Singing male singing in grasslands along the SW section of yellow trail not far past the two bluebird boxes, just beyond (NW of) the private gravel driveway. HESP sang regularly from three exposed perches during the roughly 35 minutes I stayed with it going silent only briefly during this time. This individual was singing a 5 note/phrase song which, when close, sounded mostly trisyllabic in the field. Photos and audio. Update (6/23/19): A Henslow's Sparrow was photographed here on 6/6/19 but was initially eBirded without photos as a Dickcissel and then later as a Savannah Sparrow (still no photos). The correct ID accompanied by photos appeared last night (6/22), presumably having been reevaluated by the observers after seeing yesterday's reports. Update (6/26/19): A Henslow's Sparrow was audio recorded here on 6/9/19 by an observer who was unsure of the ID. The audio was sent to Jonathan Klizas today who confirmed the ID. The song in this audio matches the individual I found on 6/22 and, considering the location, is surely the bird photographed on 6/6 (see 6/23 update above).
