Henslow's Sparrow

Central Park, NYC

Centronyx henslowi

Henslow's Sparrows are very rare migrants in the NYC area, so this was quite an exciting find for me. About 20 lucky birders got to see it on Halloween, at times feeding within four feet of us. It is only the second record of this species in Central Park.
