Thanks David, since they nest right on the ground in the open, they come and go very quickly.

Herb, I have question about your great shots...how do you get as close as you do? I did a survey of Bobolinks here in Oregon (at Malhuer) and couldn't begin to get that close to displaying males. The ones I was counting were in flooded fields with mixed grasslands.


Thanks for commenting. I watch the bobolinks for awhile from a distance looking at where nests may possibly be and then I position myself nearby for flight shots.

Thanks for sharing Herb, you've reminded me that I must go for a Bobolink hunt this year. Nice captures.

Never heard of them Herb. The photos are very good

Morris


Probably because there isn't too many grasslands in the city Morris. These birds like wide open spaces with lots of grasses and hills. Thanks for the comments.

Excellent series of shots Herb love the backgrounds! I'm not seeing many females but from your nest shot I see why. The males where I shoot stake out areas and hang close to it. They tolerate me very well and let me get close, in fact some flight shots fill the frame but I miss most of them lol. What a cool bird...


Glad you can get them too, thanks for the visit.
