Spring and summer resident only-
Winters in South America .

There are not too many breeding regions here-
( Province of Ontario ), as they require uncultivated fields
and grasslands, which are limited, somewhat.
There is an area very close to me, however,
where they can be found, so it's nice to be able to go
out and try for a few photos. ( The Bobolink is a 
fine singer, as well).

Thanks to everyone for viewing.

Excellent capture of this cool bird that can be very challenging to find.

They were common at Guelph Lake, (I live in Guelph) until they decided to cut the grass on the fields this Conservation area and they are not found anymore.
Nice image.

This one has been elusive for me. Very nice shot, would wish for a tiny bit more room on bottom.

A little tight at the bottom, Paul, but otherwise a very nice image!

Paul, very nice pose and background. Agree that a little more space at the bottom would be beneficial.
