Dickcissel and Bobolink in Canon City update

[SeEtta Moss]

I had a meeting this morning so wasn't able to go out to look for the Dickcissel and Bobolink until noontime, a bad time to look for them.  I heard the Dickcissel sing a lot from a tree a few hundred feet north of Grandview Ave and only briefly heard the Bobolink sing from the field.  I returned this evening after 7 and the Dickcissel flew onto the utility line along the Grandview Ave border of the hay field.  It proceeded to sing for a good 5 minutes from that spot.  I got photos but the background is wildfire-smoke gray which reduces contrast but the photos still show the field marks.  I have uploaded those photos to my Birds and Nature blog.
