Went out to my favorite field birding site to see the annual appearance of the Bobolinks in the large wheat fields out there. Saw over 20 of these beautiful black, white and yellow migrants heading for the grain fields of the Midwest and Canada. They love to sort of flock hop through the fields. I first heard them in the trees behind the Big Slough. Always a welcome site. Here's a complete list of the birds I saw that day.
