Hi all, I watched the flock of Bobolinks on the Wildlife Drive at Montezuma NWR this morning for 2 hours, waiting for them to fly up in a flock dense enough to look impressive. They mostly flew in dribs and drabs, but I did get a few chances. There's a photo here:

If you don't see them at first, wait a while and they'll call or some will fly. Soon they will be in South America.
