I was atlasing in Shelby County this morning and was just heading home from
Lockington Preserve when I heard what sounded like a Cassin's Sparrow. It
was in the field east of the intersection of Kaser and Lindsey Roads about a
mile east of Lockington Preserve. I heard it sing very clearly and close
once. After getting out of the car to listen I heard the bird again 3 or 4
times but it was more distant. I am familiar with the song from trips out
west. I also heard Grasshopper, Savannah, and Vesper Sparrows in the field.
I never got to see the bird.
