    We were not expecting to see this species for which Fall migration is usually over by mid-October. They are super long-distance migrants wintering in South America. This straggler was the only one we saw. This species is listed as threatened by the state of New Jersey because of serious...

    Several were seen in tall grass where it was hard to photograph until this one perched high up on the top of a tall tree.

    Closest shot I got of one, checking his/her surroundings in late evening sun before feeding and resting for the return flight. Most that I saw - thousands per day - were flying overhead. Flying northwards, which may seem counterintuitive, but migrants on Cape May have been blown off course. When...

    Another one of my lifers from New Jersey. We saw up to 4000 of these flying overhead in just a few morning hours ... not that I could really see what they were, but once I'd learned their flight call the ID was easy. Then one afternoon I saw some landing - silently - in a field. They would perch...

    One last post before I shove off for Virginia. Went to local battlefield park to try to get a few species that I usually shoot there. Did not find first two (Common Yellowthroat and Eastern Meadow Lark) but did find a field full of Bobolinks which was the third group that I usually go there for...

    Bobolink on the prairie

    There are a few spots on the Horicon Marsh grounds where these can be seen. I was happy that this one let me close enough to get a couple of keeper photos.

    This is the second species of the day that upon hearing me play their song on my iphone they came with a caterpillar. Coincidence or bringing an offering to a new visitor in their territory?

    I have never seen so many grouped together, but come to think of it, their 40 acre alfalfa field is 1/4 mowed. Amazing song; check it out at http://www.birdforum.tv/members/action/viewvideo/2107/Bobolink_s_Metallic_Song/

    Taken from car on parimeter road at Saratoga Battlefield Park in upstate NY. Finding lots of Bobolinks this year there but having trouble finding Eastern Meadowlarks which usually habitate the same fields as the Bobolinks there.

    Went up to Saratoga Battlefield Park near me specifically looking for these guys and for Eastern Meadowlarks. Did not find find any Meadowlarks in close but did find a few cooperative Bobolinks. I find these birds very hard to photograph because of the contrasting colors. I can usually get the...
