As promised to a friend, I am posting them. This was so exciting as this was the first time I have ever seen this strange singing birds.

Trying to sneak up and not scare them, they are very skiddish:



My favorite Bobolink (gotta love saying the name!):



Another not too bad shot for this quick little skiddish bird:



Not my greatest shot but it was worth the try:

Love the pics Irene - have only seen them once a couple of years ago.  As my husband says - they seem to have their heads of backwards.  Thanks for posting.
