Henslow's Sparrow is a small, secretive bird species found in grasslands and prairies of North America. It is known for its distinctive song, a series of short, buzzy notes. This sparrow has a streaked brown back, a pale belly, and a distinct facial pattern with a buffy stripe through the eye. It forages on the ground for seeds and insects, often remaining hidden in dense vegetation.
