Note: The Henslow's Sparrow was first heard creeping through the dry grass in a meadow. 

 We stepped up to it, where it remained motionless for several minutes. I bent over it yet it 

 remained quiet and did not move till I put out my hand to touch it and then it crept off into 

 thicker grass. I followed it; it did not fly till forced to, then only about six feet to where it 

 crept down into the grass again.
