Henslow's Sparrow:

Voice: "The Henslow's perches atop a weed, from which it utters one of
the poorest vocal efforts of any bird; throwing back its head, it ejects a
hiccoughing tsi-lick. As if to practice this 'song' so that it might not
always
remain at the bottom of the list, it often hiccoughs all night long."

Gail and all,

I know I've told this one on here before, but I think the best comment I've
ever heard was from Tammy Schwaab when she saw this bird sing thru our scope
in Garrett County several years ago - "He bothers to tip his head back just
to do that?"
