Henslow's Sparrow (1)

Ammodramus henslowii

(Near-threatened)

Chris

United States (Michigan)

Date taken: Jun 7 2014

Details: adult

The Henslow's Sparrow that we saw this morning was a lifer. This bird is in a dramatic decline throughout its range, and even some areas where it was regularly seen in Michigan have no birds this year. Urgent attention is needed regarding preservation of natural grassland areas and increased awareness of the habitat requirements of this species.

Iceland

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that I was looking at a new lifer and also a new species for Birdviewing. I only realized after returning home this was not a Semipalmated Plover!
