- Comments: "Seen with MOB. Beautiful sparrow with streaked back, ochre, patterned head, teardrop wing spots, rufous wings, fine streaks on buffy breast and flanks. Feeding in deeper grass; I saw it take one caterpillar. This Henslow’s has been seen by many excited birders. There were ten birders there when I was there, with a few coming and going. In my opinion, most were at a reasonable distance, but at times, I felt the bird was crowded. The bird, however, did not seem concerned, and continued to feed the whole time. It remained in the deepest grass at that location, which may have been an attempt to hide. Ironically, this probably contributed to the birders closing in, as most were trying to get a photograph. I will include a photo of the birder crowd."
