While birding Murphy-Hanrahan this morning I heard what sounded like a Henslow¹s sparrow calling from the edge of the little cattail marsh across the road from the parking lot. I tried several times but for the life of me could not locate the thing. It would stop calling as I approached. I should add, I suppose, that I have no experience with this species and am familiar with its call only from tapes. In any event, if anyone is passing that way, give a listen. It would call regularly for a few minutes and then stop for awhile. Otherwise, it was fairly quiet. Usual suspects Blue-winged, Hooded warblers, Gnatcatcher in wooded area.
