Bobolink

Bobolinks nest in open fields like meadows and hayfields. They are long distance migrants that breed in the northern US and in Canada along the US border. They winter in southern Brazil. The males have a color pattern that has been described as a reverse tuxedo with white patches on the back and a yellow patch on the back of the head. The females are a buffy brown with dark brown streaking. Bobolinks nest on the ground and the female’s color helps camouflage her on the nest.
