My observations and sightings in nature from both my local area and much further afield. Focus is always on birds but other parts of nature make it on here too.

Henslow's Sparrow
I finally was able to make it up to Montague to check on the Henslow's Sparrow which has been present in a hayfield since at least saturday. There were already maybe 15 birders present when I arrived after work around 8:30am. I was able to get the scope on the bird immediately. He was chased off his perch a few times by Bobolinks but always popped back up again. He was calling quite often throughout my time there. He was a bit too far out in the field for a photo opportunity. When I left a little after nine he was still visible and calling. The bird really put on a good show for everyone there.
