I’ll write more later about this weekend’s extremely enjoyable field trips, but for now will just report that the DICKCISSEL is still present on Sunday at the Cornell Community Gardens on Freese Road. I plainly saw it in the hedgerow at the southeast corner, near the Cayuga Trail entrance, with many White-throated Sparrows. I was a little surprised about the location, but plainly saw the plain yellow breast, heavily striped brown wings, plain face with distinct supercilium, and somewhat long bill. I think that the bird may have moved back into the plots when the White-throated Sparrow flock gradually shifted there, but we didn’t refind it.
