Folks, Yesterday after working on the plains, I wandered up to Jumbo / Tamarack SWAs to look for northeast specialties and see if some of the recently reported migrants were hanging around. At parking area 1 of Tamarack SWA on the west side of hwy 83, I briefly observed and briefly heard calling a Black-billed Cuckoo along with several Yellow-billed Cuckoos. I mentioned this to Joey Kellner this morning and he and his group were able to refind and photograph the bird in the same location. This is where the Eastern Wood-Pewee has been vocalizing now for a second straight year.

On my return trip I heard a singing Dickcissel in the grassy area(s) near the amphitheater. Last year around this time, I encountered signing Dickcissels in marginal Dickcissel habitat in the foothills of Douglas County. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37355383 Good Birding!
