Like John Habig, I was out this morning knocking off a previously virgin atlas block. I stumbled on a singing Henslow's Sparrow, perhaps two. The bird was found in an overgrown pasture dominated by Queen Anne's lace. I never got a really good view of the bird(s), but what I did see was consistent with Henslow's (short tail, bulbous head) and it was constantly and monotonously singing its simple little song: "peet-tuck." I am familiar with the song from chasing this species at the VOA park near Cincinnati. An interactive map and better directions are available here<http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=39.217243,-83.620334&spn=0.013549,0.016437&t=h&z=16&msid=104411027825639848188.00048cb3d90373ea075d6> . Only on returning home did I realize that the bird doesn't belong to the block I was atlasing. I was aiming for 76C4CW. The bird was actually just over into 76C3NW. As a wise old colonel in intelligence once told me, "Lieutenant, wars are won and lost on the edges of maps and photographs."
