Dickcissels continue to be found in areas where they may not be very expected, or regular, in June. Among the latest reports is one from Yates Co., NY. There’ve been reports from a number of counties in Pennsylvania this month, & other states in the mid-Atlantic region, as well as some from farther off, with what may be getting at a common theme - more individuals, and sightings in locations where generally not expected, or not expected in the number being found, in some of the locations.
The sighting from Yates County, NY is archived at: http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1324894 <http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1324894> (the above first posted to the Genesee-Birds list.) It could be that more of this species are out there, now, in various areas of NY state. good -and ethical- birding, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
