COBirders-- Thanks to a report to me by Denverite Mary Kay Waddington (who also has a cabin nearby ours in NW Custer County), Wednesday evening Treva and I were able to spot a few Dickcissels.
They were in hay fields on the Wet Mountain Valley floor. The only other known sighting of Dickcissels in Custer County is by Brandon Percival few years ago at his family cabin near the eastern edge of the county. Somehow that wasn’t recorded in our latest Arkansas Valley Audubon’s Wet Mountain Valley checklist (2018). –-Seems to be a good Dickcissel year in Colorado.
