I ran up to Cecil County this morning in search of Vesper Sparrows but got
Dickcissels instead.  Two were singing on either side of Old Telegraph Rd 
south of Middleneck Rd.  There is a dirt driveway on the west side of Old 
Telegraph Rd 0.8 miles south of Middleneck Rd that provides a convenient 
pull-off (it's also about 0.8 miles north of the T-intersection of Old 
Telegraph Rd, Water St, and Rumsey Rd in Warwick if you're coming from the 
other direction).  The birds were perching on both bushes and wires in 
that area.  One of the birds chased a Red-winged Blackbird away from the 
shrubs on the east side of the road.
