Sing, sing a song....

A drive through the strip pits tonight resulted in these captures of a Dickcissel....
he was just singing and singing.
We really didn't see much out there tonight...we heard all kinds of pheasants but they were impossible to see. The grass/hay/weeds are just too tall. We saw deer crossing the road out ahead of us. They walked one at a time across the road...three in total. When they walked out, we had not seen the first one, and barely saw the other two before they stepped into the open. And when they crossed to the other side, after a couple of steps in the field of hay, we could not see them at all. I would never have believed the grass was high enough to totally hide them.
