September 28th, 2005. East Meadows, Northampton, MA.


Dickcissel
Spiza americana, probable male.

Beautiful views of this Dickcissel, the yellow breast and rufous lesser coverts perhaps suggesting a male. The East Meadows conitues to be productive for this species with my first sighting here on August 29th. and about four on September 4th. NB. Image quality has been reduced for use on the web.
Images taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Swarovski HD telescope.
