The Henslow's Sparrow was seen at about 3:45 PM by 6 birders. All of the information in David Klauber's post is very helpful and was accurate for what we observed. The bird was flushed from short low grass in the center of the field when one birder stepped very close to it. It flew to the edge of the field on the north side bordering the golf course and remained low in the taller grass along the anchor fence in a sandy area left of where a Mylar balloon is caught in the grass. We never saw it fly out but did have brief views of it that area. It may have flown through the fence to the scrub around the golf course. Thanks to all who've posted descriptions today - both of the area and the bridge closure.
