Dickcissels in the Middleton area:

* Deming Way between Airport Road and HWY 14 (several).
* Pope Farm Park along Old Sauk Road (several).
* North of Market Street near Greenway Station (a couple).
* Governor Nelson State Park (several).

Yesterday I found 8 sparrow species at Pheasant Branch Conservancy:

Chipping Sparrow
Clay-colored Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Vesper Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Grasshopper Sparrow
Song Sparrow
Swamp Sparrow

Other birds included Ochard Oriole, Marsh Wren, and Sedge Wren.

64 species for the outing.

Here's a Dickcissel I recently digiscoped at Gov. Nelson SP:
