*&#%$@ Dickcissels! Both a male and female have been hanging out along a roadside near Underwood for at least a month, and I'd hoped for some good sketches (my previous -- and only -- Dickcissel encounter was scoped from across a field a few years ago, and I never was satisfied with the results of that session). No luck, though (maybe there'll be another report before I'm back up the Bruce next weekend ... here's hoping).
Ah, well. I did find a very cooperative cuckoo (is that an oxymoron?), and an Upland Sandpiper spotted on the drive back was another goodie.
In a few hours I leave for five days in Algonquin (eh, should probably be in bed by now!), which is usually very quiet bird-wise this time of year, so I expect I'll have nothing other than loons to sketch. Oh, poor me.
