I was at Allan H Treman State Marine Park this morning. The field north of the marina had a male BOBOLINK singing over it, sometimes close to the ground, but at least once in flight higher than the Osprey platform. Over the lake far to the north I saw at least 1 female & 3 male PURPLE MARTINS. Somewhere along the western grassy path almost to the north corner I heard three “bzzzzz bzzzz” songs of a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW when I was on the northern grassy path, but I did not hear it when I was closer, nor did I see it. There are also ORCHARD ORIOLES in that area, a male singing and a female with nesting material, but I did not see where she took it.
