Pat Valdata and I went out in search of the Cecil County Dickcissels. Thanks to John Hubbell and his directions, he was right on. We picked them up from the truck and heard them loud and clear. One was perched up on the electric line and another was singing from a ground support wire. There was a third singing way out in the field, but we didn't see him. Well its nice to have our own colony of Dickcissels right here in Cecil. This was a life bird for me earlier this year and I went out to Fredrick County to get it.
Still many Grasshopper Sparrows singing in the area, but the Vespers were not being vocal.
Thanks again John!
