Definition
A small North American songbird (Spiza americana) that resembles a house sparrow and is known for its simple, repetitive song.
Etymology
The name 'dickcissel' is onomatopoetic, derived from a representation of the bird's call or song, which sounds like 'dick-dick-cissel.' The name was coined by American ornithologists observing the bird's distinctive vocalizations.
Kelly Says
The dickcissel's name literally comes from imitating its song—'dick dick cissel'—so when you hear a dickcissel singing, you're hearing its own name being called out!
