I have only seen this bird once in Arizona (Canoa Ranch). it is a large sparrow-like bird. I believe this is a female. They perch on stalks or shrubs to pluck seeds (as seen here). Usually found in tall grasslands.

Sure is an odd name for a bird.

downloads are best.
Hope you enjoy

Very cool, Jim.

Here is a possible explanation from Cornell Labs for the unusual name: "The best place to find Dickcissels is in overgrown pastures, savannahs, and croplands in the central Great Plains, although the birds move around from year to year so you may have to search several spots. Their song is fairly short but hard to miss, a clicky buzzing dick-dick-ceessa-ceessa. Watch for males sitting on barbed wire fences, posts, and shrubby trees as they launch into song over and over again."
