Bob-O-Link spotted

As Trish and I were out on a walk, checking the yard and a recent planting of two Toka Plums, a male Bobolink jumped out of the tall meadow grass.  He just wasn't willing to sit still for a photo, so the photo in the blog belongs to;  Marie Reed.  Once I pin this fellow down for a good photo, I will repost the image.  

Bobolinks are a great traveler. They will winter over in southern South American and migrate back up to our region to raise a new family.  The male Bobolink is the only American bird that is black underneath and white on the back and this colorization last only through the breeding season.
