Title: Bobolink?
Post by: Drevni on June 24, 2008, 08:14:12 PM

Was near Simcoe this Saturday (June 21) and saw a field full of these birds. It looks like a Bobolink to me, but I wasn't sure and any help would be appreciated. I couldn't take more pictures since it started to rain soon after this one.

Yep........you got it right.......I have a few resident Bobolinks in the hayfield behind my house.

The spring male is the only land bird that is dark below, light above.

P.S.  Nice shot  :)
