Thanks to Sam's following posting from earlier this week, I found a few singing Henslow's Sparrows at Huffman Prairie. The birds were south of the road that loops the prairie, in the grassy area marked as a firing range (although I've never witnessed any firing there). Bobolinks and Dickcissels were more numerous and vocal than when I visited about two weeks ago. I did not see any young Bobolinks, but did see a juvenile Horned Lark.
