El Paso County: Dickcissel

[Aaron Driscoll]

I have visited Shumway Road in Fountain, Colorado, many times.

During the summer, the hayfields along this road have always produced Blue Grosbeaks. 

Today, one Blue Grosbeak appeared. Yes!

But I also was given a second treat - a Dickcissel.

Lifer!  Yes!!!!
