Dave and all,
Actually, I too have been seeing more Dickcissels than usual. As with
Bobolinks earlier this spring, I am seeing them in almost every field I stop
at. Especially in the Spring Green area, I normally find Dickcissels only at
Spring Green Preserve. This year, they are present in every roadside ditch in
the entire valley. On my way through Iowa and Grant Counties on my way to work,
I can't even stop at a stop sign without hearing them.
The other bird that appears to be in more abundance, especially in terms of
range, this year is Eurasian Collared-dove. I reported one in Montfort last
week, but have seen them in Hazel Green, Cuba City and a couple other towns
since then.
(also, as a side note, I've seen many more reports of Neotropic Cormorant from
southern IA this year than usual. They're steadily heading our way!)
Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County Interpretive Naturalist Mississippi

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
