I have had outings when the Wood Thrush didn't sing, and after I had
already heard them. I didn't get a decent reply as to why. Bobolink have
one of the best songs in the bird world; one of my favorite.

Subject: [birdky] Bobolink in Boyle County
While driving along Caldwell Rd in Boyle County about 3 miles from
Danville, I got a good look at a bobolink sitting on a fence post. They
have been known to nest in this location the past, even though the books
say we're too far south. Most of the pasture along Caldwell Rd has been
cut for hay. Hopefully that hasn't affected their ability to nest.
Also, in May we were concerned on our property in the Knobs (Boyle Co.)
about the absence of wood thrushes, but they now are singing away, loud
and clear. Maybe they were late to return this year.
