Elliot, don't know about Greg, but i heard one singing rather strongly, but
distant at the east end of Oland Rd in the large patch of alfalfa on the
north side. Also had a woman stop to ask if i needed help or directions.
When i told her i was "looking for Dickcissels -- a bird -- it's supposed to
occur along this road". She looked at me like i was crazy. It was a
surprize to me; i figured there had been so many people looking, it was an
everyday occurance to locals. Was certainly depressed to see the "creeping
death" moving in from the north. Hardly unexpected to see some change there
as i was last there in about 1967 or so.
