Summers in Missouri can be hot – very hot in fact, and humid as well. The prairie is at its most beautiful this time of year!
The middle of the day is the perfect time to spot a dickcissel; these birds simply adore the sun!
The Dickcissel (Spiza americana) is mainly a bird of the American Midwest. Max has seen and heard them in his rambles around the Midwest, but never seen them here in Wisconsin. This chromolithographic plate is from a painting by the noted American ornithologist Robert Ridgway.
