Henslow’s Sparrow a Summer Resident in Southern R. I.—On June 
6, 1901, in a wet meadow, near Brightman’s Pond, Westerly, I heard the 
queer song of a Henslow’s Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowz) and soon 
saw the bird perched on a small bush singing its weird note. I visited 
the meadow again on June 8 and heard the same male undoubtedly and 
in an adjoining meadow there was another male singing. No doubt this 
species breeds with us, and further search will probably extend their 
range.
