Hi Folks,

I don't know the last time that this bird was reported, but late this 
morning (7/26) the singing DICKCISSEL was in the same yard where Elaine and 
I saw it last year; in fact it was in the same tree.  The location is the 
north end of Dunker Church Rd., in the yard on the west side of the road, 
wedged between that road and Hwy 65, just north of the Antietam visitor 
center, and southeast of Hagerstown.  There were also a dozen CLIFF SWALLOWs 
at the Burnside Bridge, where they are obviously nesting again this year.

Also, when I posted about kayaking the Elk River last Monday (7/21), I 
forgot to mention that at the community park in Northeast there were two 
SNOW GEESE, which are over-summering.  Our group saw one of them on 31 May 
while doing the Cecil Co. lister's trip during the MOS conference.
