I think the plants are a type of dock. Photographed at Hagerman May 14. The plants were quite colorful. The Dickcissels were abundant, and the males were shouting out their territorial claims. My experience is that after nesting takes place, the Dickcissels can be difficult to find.
Pretty nice video of the bird on the dock and on a tree, singing different songs.
