	All About Birds
		Henslow's Sparrow was named by John James Audubon in honor of John Stevens Henslow, a botanist, minister, good friend of Audubon, and teacher of Charles Darwin.
		Originally the distribution of Henslow's Sparrow was concentrated in two areas: the central prairies of the United States and the coastal marshes of the Atlantic Coast.
		Henslow's Sparrow does not have federally protected status in the United States, but is listed as Endangered in seven states, as well as Canada.

	Birds, Familiar: Grasshopper Sparrow, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		The young Henslow's sparrow with relatively unstreaked breast may be confused with the adult grasshopper sparrow, but the distinctly chestnut wings of Henslow's sparrow separates this species at all ages from the grasshopper sparrow.
		Among the predators of the grasshopper sparrow are the skunk (Mephitis mephitis), weasels, spermophiles (Citellus spp.), foxes, and cats.
		The grasshopper sparrow is a grassland bird, most plentiful in managed grasslands and absent from fields with 35 percent of the area in shrubs.

	Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge
		This recommendation is based partly on the deduction that ground nesting birds of concern, including upland sandpiper, short-eared owl, vesper sparrow, Savannah sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, Henslow's sparrow, bobolink, and eastern meadowlark, present distraction displays in response to predators near their nests.
		Grassland dependant birds that nest at the Refuge include northern harrier, upland sandpiper, grasshopper sparrow, Henslow's sparrow, savannah sparrow, vesper sparrow, eastern meadowlark, and bobolink.
		Contrastingly, Roberts also states that vesper sparrows more commonly fly "directly away, low over the ground." Berger states that female vesper sparrows will respond to humans near nests with young by running along the ground conspicuously, with tail spread and wings raised.

	15 sparrows, etc. HBSP to NW Ohio 5/10
		I knew of a site in Richland County where I could probably get Henslow's sparrow, but Williams County was a more reasonable drive at this point, and I was running out of daylight.
		Vesper sparrow is fairly common around NW Ohio but I had no particular place where I knew I could find one.
		With this in mind I swung by North Chagrin Reservation and found a territorial junco for sparrow (yes, they are sparrows) number 12.

	Tall grass Prairie & Savanna Fauna - Carolinian Species & Habitats
		Despite its wide breeding range in North America, the Henslow's sparrow is in steady decline because of the scarcity of undisturbed meadows, its nesting habitat.
		Though protected, it is in decline due to loss of its preferred habitat: oak savanna and tallgrass prairie.
		The Eastern fox snake, a species found only in the Great Lakes region, is threatened in Ontario, where it has most of its range.

	Grasshopper Sparrow ID Tips
		Henslow's Sparrow has olive face and rusty wings.
		Juvenile Grasshopper Sparrows have streaked breasts and can be separated by their whitish, not yellow, crown stripe and lack of dark streaks on the side of the throat.
		Other sparrows likely to be found in field habitats have longer tails and smaller heads as well as different markings (Song, Vesper, Savannah, Field, for example).

	Student Abstracts: Fermilab - Biology
		It can be inferred from these results that the abundance of Henslow’s sparrows at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratoy is in the South Eola grasslands.
		Our study’s objectives were to discover where on the Fermilab site this bird is most abundant, to track the type of vegetation that the male Henslow’s sparrow prefers to perch on, and to confirm breeding of the Henslow’s sparrow on the Fermiloab site.
		Until 2000, the Henslow’s sparrow had not been sighted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory since 1978.

	Breeding Henslow's Sparrows in Lincoln Massachusetts
		When Wayne Petersen and Simon Perkins of the Massachusetts Audubon Society (MAS) and others arrived the next morning, a second Henslow's Sparrow appeared, delighting us with the possibility of breeding in a field much smaller than the seventy-five-plus acres thought to be optimal for Henslow's Sparrows.
		On July 10 I saw in Forbush's Birds of Massachusetts that the Henslow's Sparrow did have a song that resembled the more complex song I was hearing.
		The Henslow's Sparrow (Passerherbulus henslowii) in Massachusetts is now a rare or very rare, erratic, and local breeder near the edge of its historic range.

		The olive-green head and the extensive rufous on the wings of Henslow's Sparrow help to distinguish it from the other Ammodramus sparrows in Michigan.
		This sparrow is not as shy as Ammodramus sparrows and lacks their pointy tails.
		This sparrow is rarely observed because it rarely flushes and prefers to hide in the grassy meadows where it lives, but the male does sing from a higher perch.
