On Friday, 29 May I observed at least two singing male Dickcissels and
possibly one female in a weedy field west of Frederick Road in northern
Frederick County. The field is located less than a mile north of Mud
College Road, and has been staked for development. In fact, the owner
came out, while I was there, to show the lot to a prospective couple.

Times just keep getting tougher for this uncommon grassland nesting
bird.
