I also made my way out to NE Frederick county yesterday morning but I, unlike Jerry, was able to locate Keysville and Creamery Roads. I parked on Creamery Rd (great name!) and didn't think I would really find anything but the scenery was certainly beautiful.
 
A bird appeared on the telephone line, back to me, but yes, it was a Dickcissel and yes, it was singing. I inched my way up and he really didn't pay any attention to me. Eventually he flew away but another one landed on another wire farther away but at least was facing me. Then he flew towards me and landed on the wire right over my head, singing away. What a great view.
 
I had a Grasshopper Sparrow in the scope and Indigo buntings. I followed Creamery road out to Rte 15. It winds around and narrows and dips. Suddenly a large bird flew in front of the car but as I was on top of the hill, it appeared below me, just 4 feet over the road. A blast of white! A Gorgeous Red-headed woodpecker. I've never seen one from that perspective before. Then the storms hit and I left.
 
Sorry I didn't make it to Sixes Road and meet up with Jerry.
