Although Henslow’s had been reliably found in nearby Sharon Springs for many years, the last documented sighting was in 2008, and the sighting startled longtime birders, waking them up to the fact that breeding sites in the state were rapidly being lost.

Steve Howell has spent decades of experience in the field studying the birds of Belize, Costa Rica, and especially Mexico.
