This morning I set out early to get my Glacial Park breeding bird survey done and while waiting at one of the survey points I heard a sparrow I wasn't familiar with. I tracked it down and found my first Henslow's Sparrow. When I first saw it, it looked a little like a Savannah Sparrow and since I had seen several already I wouldn't have been surprised. But the head coloring was enough to keep me intrigued.
I was a little surprised to see the Henslow's Sparrow so close to the Common Yellowthroat (pictured). They seemed to harbour no ill will towards eachother at all although they appear to be sharing nesting grounds.
