I've been terribly remiss in not posting a pair of Dickcissels on the eastern edge of Hurlock.  They are in a weedy field at the corner of Medford Rd and Harper Rd, best reached by turning south from Rt 392 onto Medford Rd and proceeding a short distance to the stop sign at Harper Rd.  ADC Map 6, Grid J7 or Delorme Map 43, Grid 4C.  They were first seen on June 16 and again on June 28.  I certainly meant to post them long before now & deeply apologize to all for not doing so.

If anyone looks for them and finds evidence that would confirm breeding (e.g. carrying food, carrying nesting material, etc..), I'd appreciate a quick note.

Cheers,
