Spotted
The Dickcissel is a small, finch-like bird of open grasslands and agricultural fields, named for its distinctive "dick-dick-cissel" song. Males have a yellow breast with a black patch.
Where to spot
Breeds in open grasslands, prairies, and agricultural fields across the central and eastern United States. Winters in grasslands and agricultural areas of northern South America, primarily Venezuela and Colombia.
How to spot
Look in open grassy fields, meadows, and pastures. Males often perch on fences, power lines, or tall weeds to sing conspicuously. Listen intently for their unique, buzzy song.
When to spot
Best seen during the breeding season (May-July) in North America, when males are actively singing. Present in wintering grounds from November to March. Migration periods (April, October) can offer large flocks.

Dickcissels are irruptive migrants, meaning their wintering grounds in South America can shift significantly year to year based on food availability.
