There were lots of them singing at Commons Ford Ranch May 22 during the
vegetation survey. I wonder about their status there now.

Been watching for about 6 wks. They were very active in one of the
locations being loosely monitored up to last week...Today May 31, not a
single bird was heard/found and there was only one "farting" flyover. I am
not sure if they completed broods already and have moved on, or have just
had a bit too much rain. Anyway I have learned how fast they get business
done from my friend and expert Dickcissel person Erin Hatchett about just
how swiftly these birds arrive, begin breeding then move on...She has done
published studies on the species in N. Texas.
