[cayugabirds-l] Dickcissels still visible @ Seneca meadows

[Lee Ann van Leer]

GPS PIN  Dicks 1876–1976 Black Brook Rd Between 2-3pm we heard them singing along Oak Pass trail between the Main Loop and the large oak tree. One sang for a long time on and off but we could not get a visual on it there.  We backtracked and took right on Main loop towards two other large trees. Half way between the intersection of Main Loop&Oak Pass and the 2 trees we heard two DICKCISSELS  and finally got a visual of one singing on top of a light colored post with orange vertical stripes on post.   Bird had yellow breast, only a little black patch on lower throat (not full V) Gray on tail & uppertail coverts, rufous patches on wings.  Very good looks with scope. Photos to follow later. GPS PIN is where we saw it. Oak Tree would be better spot to hear it.  -Lee Ann w/ Kevin McGowan Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! --
