The Henslow's Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) breeds in the eastern Midwest in brushy meadows and grassy fields. It is considered to be a species which is in decline due to habitat loss. It winters in the southeastern United States west to east Texas. The photo at left of a wintering bird was taken at Brazoria N.W.R., Brazoria Co., Texas in December, 1991 with a hand-held (on a BushHawk shoulder mount) Canon T-90 and a FD 400 mm F/4.5 lens with a 1.4X extender on Kodachrome 64. A Fresnel flash was also used. The middle photo, which shows another individual, was taken at Jones Creek, Brazoria Co., Texas in December 1990, with the same equipment, but on Kodachrome 200 with available light. Finally, the bottom two photos were digital captures at Peach Point W.M.A. in Brazoria Co., Texas in December, 2002. These two images were taken with a Canon D60 and EF 300 mm F/4 lens with a 1.4X extender.
