Hello all I decided to check on the Dickcissel colony east of Wheatley this evening and I was not disappointed. There were at least six males vocalizing at any given time. I was treated to one singing on the hydro line above my car along the roadside. As well, I also saw several females interacting with the males.
This field is not going to be cut down, as the owner is committed to letting it stay natural, so if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. The Campers Cove Field is located on the Talbot Trail, approx 2 km east of Wheatley at Campers Cove road. It is now an eBird hotspot so you can get a map there. Good birding everyone Sarah Rupert Leamington ON Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
