The Henslow’s sparrow is an Ohio and Federal Species of Concern that is highly area sensitive, preferring large contiguous blocks of grassland habitat. They are most commonly observed breeding in large grassland habitats such as reclaimed surface-mined lands in southeastern Ohio. This species is monitored by the North American Breeding Bird Survey. The population has declined by 3.7% per year in Ohio during 1966 to 2010.
