Hi all While out and about birding over weekend a total of five Dickcissel. Along Weld CR 48 (Latham marsh) at east end I had three calling, two on telephone wire, one in field on south calling. I drove by the first one hearing a bit of the song thinking "oh, starling ..." then I heard the second one in full-took a photo. Went back to second bird who turned out to be second Dickcissel on a wire. Lesson here ... be present in your birding lol.
Also, at Weld CR 74/61 ponds (Galeton) had one on wire and one in field calling. The common theme for all five were a large field of Alfalfa (assumed) being present. Had a Red-breasted Nuthatch at Crow Valley and half dozen Greater Yellowlegs at Loloff Reservoir. Dickcissel photos at URL below. Have a video, post this afternoon.
