I had a female Dickcissel today while participating in the Durham Spring Round-up. It was located from the road but is on private property. The people were not home so I could not ask for permission to enter the property. If you decide to go, please stay on the roadway and watch the wires over the field on the west [right] side of the road.
Directions: 401 to Salem Road in Ajax and go north to Taunton Rd then east to County Rd 23, north to Cty Rd 21 and then east to the first road on your right. This is Mast Road. The bird was seen just to the north of the house on the wires at 13201 Mast Road.

Adam Pinch) had moved out the night before. However I did score a adult Laughing Gull which made the trip worth while as I am a Pelee Island Lister not a "Pelee" lister! By the way - the Tip of fish point is about 3/4km long. Point Pelee has a grain of sand.. or two. Adam and myself were also surprized that no mainlander went to see the bird during it's 4 day stay. as this is the 6th? record for Ontario. Keep up the good work Adam!
