At about 10:20 this morning I had good looks at, and got a number of clear,
definitive photographs of an energetically singing male Dickcissel at the
Meadowood recreation area in Fairfax county.
This is surely the same bird that David Ledwith found and reported yesterday.
THANK YOU DAVID! I found the bird along the Mustang Trail out of the parking
lot off of Harley Road. I took the trail closest to Gunston Road and found
the bird out about 100 yards, it was first singing in the grass and then it
flew up to the top of the large cedar tree on the ridge and sang for about 10
minutes. I had excellent looks and got excellent photographs. The bird was
still singing from the same perch when I left.
