​Breeding Birds:
The coming of June means that migration is over in York.  The remaining birds are almost all breeding birds and they are now putting their efforts into nesting.  Besides observing birds’ nesting behavior, June is a good month to scout around to find any York County breeding birds that you did not get to see during May.

Here are some of the less common York Breeders that you may have missed in May.  Since they breed in York, they can be found here all summer long.  Below each picture are some suggested places where they can most likely be found:

Summer Irregularities
Another uncommon target to look for in June is the Dickcissel.  These are uncommon in Pennsylvania, but show up occasionally in York in June and July. Look for these birds in open fields with high weeds and sparse, small trees such as reclaimed strip mines and landfills.  In York, they have most often been seen at Hopewell Twp park, but have recently been found in the fields at Long Arm Reservoir. Dickcissels are prolific singers, even in the later day of the summer months, so they announce their presence with the "dick - dick,  ciss-ciss-ciss" call. ​
