Years ago some students and I got a brief view of a Henslow's near Indian
Creek (Hardin Co.). Noticing that it flew along the edge of the woods next
to a pasture, we went and got mist nets, put one up perpendicular to the
edge, half in and half out of the woods, chased the Henslow's along the
edge, and soon caught and banded it,- first time I ever hunted an individual
bird.
