Around 4 PM today (11/5) I saw a female Dickcissel at Meadowbrook Park in 
Howard County. This was in the newer park area near a pavilion that overlooks 
the stream valley. The bird was perched in a small tree and then flew to a 
grassy area near the parking lot. After I returned home I checked the Sibley 
guide and the closest resemblance was to the first winter female.

Also in the same area was a Vesper Sparrow.
