8 Dickcissel, Allegan Co. 6/26/07

[Rick Brigham]

<p>Greetings,</p><p>I made a run to look for Dickcissel last night after reading Ken Middleton's post about the two at Allegan State Game Area. Altogether 8 singing males were found and there are likely more as there is more potential habitat to look at. Besides the bird Ken had in the &quot;Bobolink Field&quot; at the southeast corner of 59th St. &amp; 118th Ave. the others were:</p><p>- one in the field on the north side of 118th Ave. 1/10 mile west of 59th St.</p><p>- two in the field on the north side of 117th Ave. 1/10 mile east of 58th St.</p><p>- one in the field on the south side of 117th Ave. 1/4 mile east of 58th St.</p><p>- three in the field/on utility wires on the east side of 58th 1/10 mile north of 116th Ave.</p><p>An adult male Orchard Oriole was also in the junipers along the roadside at the last location. Other usual suspects for this area were 2 Upland Sandpiper, 21 Grasshopper Sparrow, 26 Savannah Sparrow and 6 Vesper Sparrow.</p><p>Thanks for the heads-up Ken!</p><p>Good birding,</p><p>Rick Brigham</p><p>Douglas</p>
