Several people are hearing the birds very easily right now.  No visuals yet.  

Bobolinks just started singing as well.

Jim Stasz, and Bob and Susan Hood joined Kim and I as we were able to hear at least 2 singing male Henslow's Sparrows.  One male repeatedly sang from the mowed grass and was joined by another.  While I was recording the birds, which were giving a variety of calls, see the sound link below, Kim, Bob and Susan witnessed the birds copulate!
