One of my birding stops today was Retzer Nature Center to see if the Bobolinks were present. They were and are nesting as usual. I did see a couple of males moving around in the field there, but only saw one female. I’m sure they are at the nest. Always a treat to see them there in their field. It was a pleasant morning with temps around 54 degrees, low winds and sunny skies but the sky still looks a little hazy from the Canada wildfires. Images were taken on June 5, 2025.

The female Bobolink…

Calling…

Their typical perch, old canes or dead plant material…
So beautiful melodious.
So beautiful and melodiuos.
Outstanding
Very nice shots my friend
Great images Jim!
Nice photos, Jim. You and I talked about this area in May at Lake Park. How is the book coming?
