This morning I found at least 3 singing Henslow's Sparrows at the Jeffers
Petroglyphs in Cottonwood County.  Two were singing in the grasslands behind
the visitor's center, and one was singing near the parking lot.  To walk the
trails up to the Petroglyphs (where two Henslow's could be heard), a fee is
required. Thus, if you're not interested in viewing the petroglyphs (which are
quite intriguing by the way), you could simply stop in the parking lot without
entering the building and listen for one there. You choose.
