Sorry! While I did indeed photograph the Henslow's Sparrow around 10am when its odd call caught my attention after I left the blind area near the Dickcissel, I do not commonly see Ammodramus sp. so honestly didn't correctly ID it, Deb, until I got a message from a friend late afternoon about a Rare Bird Alert. I was on the road, and don't check email. I think it was a much more knowledgeable birder (Tom Burke?) who also saw and id'd the bird a bit later and got the word out to the birding community? The bird was also beeing seen this morning (5/24).
Deb Tracy-Kral There are reports on the New York Birders Facebook group of a Henslow's Sparrow at SGNWR on May 23rd, with a photo by Deb Tracy-Kral and a video from David Hayes. I can't believe this wasn't posted to NYSBIRDS-L.
