Diane spotted a very different bird at the feeders this evening. Turns out it
was a stunning male Dickcissel!
After feeding at the feeders for a while, it flew to the brush piles on the
left (south) side of our yard. I’ll spread some millet later and let folks know
if it sticks around
Another thing of interest with this species is that an observer on Ebird
has recorded
night flight calls of DICKCISSELs near Williamsport, PA from June 5-16th
well
east of their normal range. Is there a movement of this species into NY
now??

There is a male Dickcissel singing at 3023 State Road in Stanley near Gotham.
Just west of the house on the south side of the road. Mike Tetlow

This morning, while checking a couple of areas for possible sparrows of
interest, I came upon a female DICKCISSEL in one of the grassy lanes to the
Northwest of the Cornell Recreation Center, located South of Hanshaw Road in
the Town of Dryden.
The bird was seen a couple of times and

found them yet.

Although it didn't strike me as a great migration night last night,
the morning flight down by the lake this morning seemed active enough.
In addition to a handful or warblers besides the usual Yellows
overhead, I heard several calls from a DICKCISSEL over Stewart Park
around 7:15 this morning, as
Hi All,
Sorry for the late post. Dave and I saw the Dickcissel on Tuesday. He did
post the sighting. I want to add that we were extremely lucky to see the
bird at the top of the Sprawling Oak where there are no leaves. It sat
there for at least 10 minutes. It preened, moved in all directions,
DICKCISSEL posed, preened sang atop big oak, Oak Pass Trail, Seneca Meadows
Wetland Preserve.

I have uploaded an audio clip of the Dickcissel from this morning (at 2:47
AM), as well as a spectrogram frame-grab, showing the characteristics of
this flight call. These can be accessed by going to these links:

We have had some fairly atypical weather patterns recently - large low
pressure systems which have moved north and northwest and even some moving
west. Those could have picked up migrants and swept them east on their
south-west quadrants. Just speculation from someone who watches the radar a
lot.
Just reported by Nate Senner.

Livia and I walked around the garden plots on Freese Road this morning, as
we have been doing most mornings. The highlight was a single buzzy call note
from a DICKCISSEL, presumably flying over, to the NW of the NE corner of the
garden plots. The bird was not seen. We also had a dull CAPE MAY
