Hi All Yesterday eveing 6 - 7 from about 7:00 Pm to about 9:30 Pm I
deciced to do some checking for Dickcissels in QA and Caroline Co. First
stop Cherry Lane nearthe intersection of Cedar Lane north of Greensboro
Md delorme map 51 section B5 . this place has been productive for the last
several years for this species 1 male was singing from a small Sapling
across from the yellow sign that cautions a stop sign is coming up for
Cedar Lane. birds Here were
1 Dickcissel Male
1 Blue Grosbeak singing Male
1 Indigo Bunting singing male
1 Bobwhite Calling
1 Eastern Towhee singing
Next stop was Ell Downes Rd in QA County Just across the line with
Caroline County Coming from 313 , near Ingleside Md delorme map 51 B4 .
This place also has produced them for several years but has been hit or miss
for me { missed them last Year in QA Co}. But last nite was rewarded With 2
singing Males here they were in a field of growing Peas with weedy ditches
and borders. The corner closest to 313 was were they were heard as well as
seen. One sat up on the guide wires to an electric pole. Birds here
2 Dickcissels male
2 Song sparrow
Many Red winged Blackbirds
I also made a couple of stops for night birds no luck with that though .
Happy Birding
