  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The presence of conspecific individuals may provide important cues about habitat quality for territorial songbirds. We tested the ability of a conspecific song playback system to attract Henslow&amp;rsquo;s sparrows to previously unoccupied restored habitat. We successfully attracted Heslow&amp;rsquo;s sparrows to 3 of 7 treatment plots using conspecific song playbacks and we found no Henslow&amp;rsquo;s sparrows in control plots. The addition of social cues using playback systems in restored grassland habitats may aid conservation efforts of Henslow&amp;rsquo;s sparrows to available habitat.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
