BOBOLINK
Dolichonyx oryzivorus
Cornell link
Bobolinks are common to the northern half of the United States and small parts of southern Canada. They inhabit fields with dominant alfalfa, clover, and grain crops. They have seen smaller numbers in the northeast because of the lessening of agriculture. They get their name from thier call, "bobolink, bobolink, bobolink, bobolink." Their migration route sometimes takes them as far away as Argentina!!
This is the first Bobolink that I have seen. It was fairly shy, and was coupling with a female. It flew away pretty quickly. I didn't het to hear it call, unfortunately.
