The relatively rare and near-threatened Henslow's Sparrow singing its simple song. An uncommon and famously inconspicuous bird, the Henslow's Sparrow breeds in weedy grasslands of the east-central United States. Its population numbers have declined steadily over the past few decades, largely because of habitat loss. This sighting was pure luck while driving through mixed grass and brush hilly reclaimed coal strip mine habitat in southeast Ohio. At first I didn't know what kind of sparrow it was but that it was unusual. This bird was filmed at very long range with digital zoom enabled so the image is not as clear as usual.
