Henslow's Sparrow, Brunswick, ME

[Henry D Mauer]

Today was our third trip to see the Henslow's Sparrows and we got lucky with one of them perching about 60 feet away for a lengthy period of time.  Pictures at my website:  henrymauer.smugmug.com

There are definitely two birds.  Park at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Rd and Casco Rd in Brunswick, ME.  Walk east on Pleasant Hill Rd, towards downtown Brunswick.  Both birds are on the right side of the road.  The easier to see bird is usually between the intersection and the crest of the hill.  The harder to see bird is usually about at the crest of the hill.  Both birds are typically much further back from the road than one would expect based on the strength of their songs.  They sing quite a bit in the morning and the evening.

Happy Birding,

Henry & Deb Mauer
