Yesterday morning I was out to Wooster Memorial Park doing my annual
breeding bird survey. In the "Farm Field", an open field of several acres
of deep grass on the far west side, I identified three Henslow's sparrows
in three diverse locations in the field. That is quite rare for Wayne Co. I
found one there two weeks ago, but had never seen them in the park in
previous years.

I was in the area about 8:30am and, in each case, heard the Henslow's
calling. Twice, I was able to spot the bird on a dead weed stem just above
the level of the grass. Once, I watched one calling as it perched there.
This is quite a pleasing development for our park and a new species for my
breeding bird census. Randy Rowe, Wooster
