Dickcissels are handsome yellowish songbirds seen in north Texas in warm months. They should be here in just a few weeks. A few years ago, they inundated open fields and meadows throughout north Texas. But their numbers have drastically declined lately. Now we know the biggest reason why. They’re considered agricultural pests in South America (they really aren't), where they winter. So these harmless birds are often poisoned or sprayed with pesticides.
