It could hardly be more of a Dickcissel than the great photos show. I have
only seen two in Oregon in 40+ years.

Also seen were two SNOW GEESE and two unknown "blue" geese with a flock of
CACKLING GEESE in a field between Alderbrook Loop and Hwy 101 in Idaville.
The "blue" geese were almost as white as the SNOW GEESE, with similar bills,
but had distinct blue-tinged caps that extended down the back of the neck.
Wish I'd gotten photos, hopefully they'll be seen again.

Looking at a strange pair. A DICKCISSEL and a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD on the
road leading in, before the parking area.
