'Rare Regular' in Minnesota

Henslow's Sparrow found between 31 & 32 on both sides of the trail, Pet Trails, Murphy-Hanrahan Park, Scott County. The species is a hard to find regular species in Minnesota. This year seems to be an invasion year with the Henslow's Sparrow being found in many places.

The Henslow's Sparrow has been reported from Fillmore, Hennepin, Houston, Lac Qui Parle, and Scott counties in the spring season and from Carver, Dakota, Jackson, Lac Qui Parle, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, and Swift counties in the summer season.
