Todd,
Thanks for your report. I was out running errands and made a quick stop at
Veteran's Park. It took me a bit to find your Bobolinks because they were
out searching for food on the big lawn. I learned something important
today. If I hadn't been looking for Bobolinks, I would have ignored those
distant blackbirds on the grass as just Redwings and Cowbirds. Now I know
how important it is to pay attention. I counted 10 males and 4 females,
although I may have missed some females as they blended in better with the
golden dandelions. A man walking a dog flushed the flock, which flew into a
tree where they began to sing the way you described. It was a real treat.
There were also a nice little group of warblers in the bushes near the pond.
Thanks again for alerting me to the Bobolinks and for helping me learn a
valuable lesson in birding.
