Hi Birders,
I checked out the Dickcissel's today near Paisly and had 3 singing male's. Two of the males were very vocal and easy to see as they were within 50 m. of the 33/34 Side road. The third male sang only a few times but around 200 m. away from the road. No females were seen. As well I timed how frequently the birds sang, about 10-12 times a minute so if you're within a few hundred metres of the site, you should have no problem hearing them. I also thought I may have heard a Sedge Wren at this location but I only heard it sing once and it seemed fairly distant. As well on the 28/29 Side road a family group of 4 Upland Sandpipers. Directions are as per Michael Carlson. Birds seen on Side Rd. 33/34 about 300 m. from County Rd. #11 near Paisley. County Rd. #11 runs between North Bruce south of Port Elgin to Paisley. Turn north on Side Rd. 33/34 and the field is on the east side of the road. For the Upland's continue on Side road 33/34 until you come to the Junction of Side road 28/29 and turn left towards County Road 11. The UPSA's were at this corner.
