BOBOLINKS IN THE FIELD

8/22/2017

0 Comments

 
THE FIELD in South Pitt County, NC. is one of my favorite local birding sites. There is a large number of species who reside or visit here around the year. This area is the only place I have seen Bobolinks in Pitt county. In the past several years, I have seen both males and females in spring, summer and fall, raising the question as to whether they may be nesting here. I have not observed nests or fledglings . However. I did not see them this past spring. The pictures below were just taken over the past few days. Bobolinks are seen in eastern NC during the fall as they migrate back to South America. and are fairly frequent in the Alligator River Refuge and other areas along the coast where large grassy fields can be found.

I have normally seen these birds at this site around mid September in the fall, on into late October. So mid-August is the earliest i have seen them. For a statement about these birds in North Carolina from the Audubon Society of NC, see nc.audubon.org/birds-0/bobolinkthis link.   For a complete description, , behavior, distribution, etc. , please see this www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bobolink/id/ncCornell University Site. These birds are one of my favorites with their burbling, rolling songs, and the unusual black, white, and yellow-buff coloration of the male in spring. Enjoy the pictures below!!
