I don't usually report feeder birds because the birds at my feeder are
generally House Sparrows. But this morning as I scanned the hordes of House
Sparrows, a touch of yellow caught my eye. When I came back to it, I
thought at first it was just the effect of morning sun on a female House
Sparrow. Then the birds in front of it moved and the bird itself turned
toward me, showing a distinctly yellow breast. The birds flushed just then,
but I've seen it since and it has a bit of black at the throat and a lot of
reddish brown on the wing coverts. Dickcissels are nice birds in this area
any time of year, but are uncommon in winter.
