The Henslow's Sparrows at The Farm (Lewis County, near Summertown)  
were still singing their little flat green heads off this evening.   
Cynthia Rohrbach and I found 7 singing birds, several perched  
cooperatively in clear view.  One of the singers allowed us to watch  
him leisurely from as close as about 5 meters while he tsi-licked  
away.  We started looking around 7 p.m., at which time the birds were  
very vocal and conspicuous.  Their normally weak and inconspicuous  
song carried surprisingly well in the quiet, calm evening air.

Cynthia and others at The Farm are trying to develop a management  
scheme for their hayfields that will provide for both HESP habitat  
and hay production.  Can anyone suggest some references that could  
help?  How late in the season might the birds continue actively nesting?

Tsi-lick,
