Feeder MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Greetings! While home yesterday (3/29), I had a Dickcissel at our feeder = in=20 Sykesville (Carroll County) off-and-on for about 15 minutes. It showed a== 20 broad yellowish supercilium, bright yellow upper breast (but no black che= st=20 mark) and rich rusty at the bend of the wing. Apparently a female. Seems too early for a migrant, but if it is wintering, why did it wait un= til= =20 now to show up? I'll keep looking for it and will advise if it is a regul= ar. By the way, my husband was at work and missed it. I have the best yard bi= rd=20 and he's a little jealous =E2=80=A6. Good birding!
