After birding Stearns County periodically since 1962, I finally managed a
singing Henslow's Sparrow late Wed evening, a species only recorded a few times
before in that greatest of inland birding counties. The bird was seen south of
Rice Lake in Eden Lake Township (DeLorme p.39, A7) on the north side of the
more northerly route 34 1.4 miles west of its junction with CR 162--or just
above the 2nd "E" in Eden Lake Township. The bird was in a grassy field in a
short bush a couple of hundred yards east of a tan-coloured metal building and
had Sedge Wren and Bobolink as associates. There is no good shoulder here so
early morning might be the best time to observe the bird from the road. Bob
