| Male Dickcissel |
The Dickcissel is described by Audubon as a miniature meadowlark - which is what I thought I was photographing until I viewed the photos a little closer. It's a summer resident of the Midwest residing in open fields feeding on seeds and insects.

Lovely birds to see...
ReplyDeletevery pretty little bird
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is totally ironic!!! When we were out birding yesterday, I came upon what I thought was a dickcissel...but I'm thinking now what I saw was a meadowlark...the beaks are quite different...the dickcissel has a 'grosbeak' appearance while the meadowlark's is somewhat slimmer and longer....what do you think?
ReplyDeleteThat's what threw me too... The beak and not a black V of the meadowlark.
