Not a 'Lick" - 24 Apr 2006
I spent about 1.5 hours this evening (between 6-7:30pm) at Oakwoods Metropark looking/listening for the HENSLOW'S SPARROW reported by Neil Gilbert this past weekend. Didn't hear a 'Lick' (literally).
I did hear a BOBOLINK in the field just west of the RR Tracks.
Saw lots of Eastern Meadowlarks (one did a very nice impression of a RS-Towhee 'zriii')
Six pair of Eastern Bluebirds
A single Savannah Sparrow that I tried very hard to turn into a HESP (didn't work).
Pair of Field Sparrows
Several RW-Blackbirds,
One Ring-necked Pheasant
No Warbling Vireos
Allen Chartier posted some beautiful images of the Henslow’s Sparrow the next day…
