The adult male Dickcissel was still there 7 minutes after I arrived at 10:09 am. There are great looks from the street using the car as a blind. Soon after 10:30 I was joined by Rob Spiers who found a SECOND Dickcissel - a juvenile male. We stayed for awhile longer until I could get confirmation photos of the second bird, which we saw several times, it just wasn't cooperating for photos very much.
My e-bird list with photos of both birds is: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32820173

I am in and out today . The House Sparrows go in and out all day.The ground under the feeders and thicket the Dickcissel comes to are visible from the street. The House Sparrows and the Dickcissel are all very flighty - any car Blue Jay sound and they retreat into the thicket. Anyone is welcome to try for the birds. I would suggest using your vehicle as a blind and watching from the, street. It is fine if you go on the front lawn and peek around the house for a view. If I vehicle is in the driveway ring the side door bell and you may try from the house which is much closer.Peggy Blair65 Pleasant StClinton426-8986--
