Bobolinks...
Display mode.... with display plumage and a call that has a lot of fluidity these birds are now trying to establish their own territories and attract females. I visited an open grassland habitat May 24th and saw one female, among 4 males the females arrive later at the display grounds. It is fun to watch these birds do there display flights and here their display calling. Their display plumage really stands out against the blue sky. After breeding, these contrasty colored feathers change to a more camouflage type plumage. These song birds are in the lcteridae family, Red-wing Blackbirds, Meadow larks, and Orioles.
