There's a nice park at 11715 Leslie Street just a touch north of 19th & Leslie.  Saw Bobolinks, some kind of Flycatcher (will attempt ID tonight once I get a better look at the pictures), and a great assortment of various common birds.  I have a feeling there might be more, I just need more time to investigate.  In the meantime, if you're close and really want to see Bobos, I think they're a fairly reliable sighting at this park...take the path north to the tall grass field and soon you'll hone in on their unique call.

Thanks for the tip. This is pretty close to my work so I will definitely check it out!

Went back today and saw them again in the same field.  Just singing their hearts out.  Also saw a Willow Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, some Cedar Waxwings (possibly Bohemians too) and a Catbird.  I also got harassed by a Red Winged Blackbird so keep an eye out for them.

Nice finds! Probably no Bohemians though, they should have gone north a while ago.

Yeah I guess you're.  I thought I heard both calls...but I was only able to visually confirm the Cedar.
