8 May 2004 Joachime Bible Refuge unit of Lick Creek Bottoms Wildlife Management Area (Greene Co., TN) I heard and saw a singing male Dickcissel this afternoon at the Bible Refuge along South Mohawk Road in western Greene County. This marks the seventh consecutive year that I have observed Dickcissels at this site during the nesting season. Although I have not actually found any hard evidence of nesting, I assume the species to be breeding here because it has been present and singing consistently throughout summer (and into August in at least one season). The bird I found today was present along the east side of South Mohawk Road just past the farm area near where Bible's Chapel Road intersects South Mohawk Road.
