This morning, my wife and I spotted a Henslow's sparrow singing on a small stem at the Carver Park Reserve. It was about 10 feet off of the paved biking trail on the south side of Lake 2. Of course I left my camera at home this morning! We observed it for about 5 minutes before moving on.
We had parked at the equestrian parking area on Grimm Road, and as soon as we got out of the car, a beautiful Scarlet Tanager was sitting in a tree on the NW side of the parking area. We walked the paved loop around lake 2.
