When Mike first posted about the Henslow's Sparrow in Rock Creek Park
I was somewhat skeptical because I knew the site was in the middle of a
heavily forested area. Not exactly Henslow's habitat. Yet I often say that
in migration almost anything can turn up almost anywhere. Case in point
here. The patch of habitat where the sparrow was found was suitable, but
it was a tiny patch - - about the size of an average living room - -
surrounded
by tall, thick cove hardwoods. How the bird found that spot is remarkable.
Nice find by Mike & good call on the ID.

I posted the pics in a hurry, I had to rush out and start mowing before it
got dark. I would like to thank Rick Knight for helping in the
identification of the sparrow. I met up with Rick this evening around
4:50pm at rock creek to try and get another look and grab a few photos. We
were not disappointed as the sparrow came out and sat on a limb for quit
some time. I was able to get a few good shots which I posted. Knight said I
better get a good look because this rarely happens where a Henslow's is
just posing for the camera. I hope it hangs around and affords others a
look. Thanks again Rick.
