Proliferation of Dickcissels in Canon City area

[SeEttaM]

Canon City has historically been a marginal area for Dickcissel breeding with usually no more than 6 to 8 singing male Dickcissels and presumably as many females.  Today I located more than a dozen singing males, most viewable from public roads in Canon City.  I have some good pics, a little video and a map (of where to find those along MacKenzie Ave) on my blog at https://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/2018/06/a-dozen-singing-dickcissels-in-canon.html   Unfortunately no Bobolink have shown up this year.

Hi SeEtta….will be headed out to local San Luis valley areas for Dickcissels. Wonder if they will be there in a dry year, with poor vegetation growth? Will let all know.
