Two male Dickcissels were feeding on the ground in a mixed flock of sparrows in the maintenance area and along the chainlink fence at the lower end of the golf course.  They were very cooperative, allowing repeated close looks - all distinctive features were readily observed (and confirmed in multiple bird guides.  The looming presence of a nearby RT Hawk, didn't seem to bother them or the other birds either,  Sorry I didn't have a camera.  Hope they stick around.
