Re: [nysbirds-l] Henslow's Sparrow - Shawangunk Grasslands NWR

[Andrew Block]

You'd be right Mike.  I used to work at the refuge when it was first formed and 
did the checklist for it and Wallkill.  They used to nest there many years ago, 
but have not been seen there until recently and definitely not on territory.  
Very nice bird.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I emailed my buddy Ralph Tabor to let him know that I'd be up Monday morning 
and also to ask him about the conditions of the trails, as I heard that they 
were overgrown. So what does Ralph do? He goes and mows the trails prior to my 
arrival! What a swell guy:-)
Anyway, the male HENSLOW'S SPARROW is still singing his little heart out. See 
attached eBird checklist with video. If I'm not mistaken, this post-restoration 
bird is the first in many years.

P.S. It's always cool to hear a singing WINTER WREN, I heard one after 
breakfast at Mohonk, by the lake.
