Absolutely beautiful captures Andrew. I don't believe i have seen this bird personally. Such a unique looking fella, and its name too.
Thank you Fee very much ,very interesting bird indeed .
Stephen Stephen wrote in post #14532178Andrew very nice images of these bobolinks with the first being my favourite for composition, and the fact that it's singing.
Just a suggestion but the second might have looked better had you tried framing the shot as a vertical (portrait format) with the bird in such an upright position.
Thank you Stephen ,I tried the vertical look on the second image thinking it would look best also .....I just didnt like it though.
Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #14533351Wow, what an extraordinary looking bird! Never seen one before. In fact, when I read the title I thought 'Bobolink? What link would that be?'
Live and learn.
Great set, Andrew, with the first being my favourite.
Thank you Levina very much,its defintiely a different bird with a different name ,I have only known of this bird for 5 or so years .
Thank you Tina very much
CDMOOSE wrote in post #14533566Great shots, Andrew; the last time I was to the west on a field trip, they had not yet arrived back from S. America, but I look forward to seeing them again; a nifty species for sure and well captured.

Thank you Joe

Dave
Thank you Dave and your not kidding ,was in my blind for quite sometime waiting for these birds to get close enough ,I did target this bird for my weekend outing so I wasnt coming home without any shots of it. They come to Horicon Marsh every year
nwyman wrote in post #14534658super job! I only see them when the breeding plumage is past.
Thank you very much. Weird plumage but I guess the lady Bobo's like it.
