For example Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) disproportionately place nests in areas treated with herbicide to control sericea versus untreated areas, and
Dickcissel (Spiza americana) nest sites have lower sericea cover than do random sites (Brooke et al, 2016; Ogden, 2017).
the
dickcissel's whistle and the crows' repeating caws.
The most commonly encountered species, in descending order of relative abundance (individuals detected per point count) were brown-headed cowbird,
dickcissel, grasshopper sparrow, and eastern meadowlark.
(2005) documented decreasing survival during the season for clay-colored sparrows (Spizella pallida) and vesper sparrows (Pooecetes gramineus) in North Dakota; Winter (1999) found no relationship between date and nest success for
dickcissel (Spiza americana) and Henslow's sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) in Missouri; and Zimmerman (1984) found predation highest in the middle of the season for
dickcissel in Kansas.
Special birds of open areas were Dolichonyx oryzivorus (Bobolink) and Spiza americana (
Dickcissel).
Dickcissel (Spiza americana), Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), and Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) were observed in habitats immediately adjacent to GWEL.
Species of concern, such as the greater prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus cupido), Henslow's sparrow (Ammodramus benslowii),
dickcissel (Spiza americana), regal fritillary butterfly (Speyeria idalia), and prairie mole cricket (Gryllotalpa major) also reside on post.

The prairie horned lark, lark bunting, bobolink, meadow lark,
dickcissel, and longspurs sing while flying because there are no tree perches (Madson, 1995).
Among the many species named for their vocalizations are the boobook owl, chachalaca, chickadee, chiffchaff, chowchilla, curlew,
dickcissel, hoopoe, kiskadee, pauraque, pipit, towhee, veery, whip-poor-will, willet, and wompoo pigeon.
For example, the grassland nesting birds of highest management concern based on our ranks were the Henslow's sparrow,
dickcissel (Spiza americana), and upland sandpiper (Table 2).
Only the feral dog and a few avian species [e.g.,
dickcissel (Spiza americana) and the common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula)] plotted high on both DCA axes I and II, showing association with small sites without pools or significant woody vegetat ion (Figure 4).The region of the DCA plane defined by low values of DCA I and II corresponded to larger, brushy sites with permanent pools that were speciose, being populated by reptiles [e.g., mud turtle (Kinostemon subrubrum) and skinks (Eumeces spp.)], birds [e.g., Louisiana waterthrush (Seiurus motacilla) and white-eyed vireo (Vireo griscus)], and numerous amphibians [e.g., tree frogs (Hyla spp.) and toads (Bufo spp)].
