I ran into a birder in the parking area, Greg (last name escapes me), who spotted a male BOBOLINK at Uplands Farm. I searched breifly but came up empty handed. A couple of hours later, while out in the back lot, heard a singing Bobolink near the east meadow, just at the entrance to the Daniel P. Davison trail. A nice looking fos male BOBOLINK presented great views just inside the entrance to the trail, behind the kiosk.
I see Bobos annually at Uplands but can't remember noting a lone individual. Some other birds in a brief scan of the area include NASHVILLE WARBLER, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER,YELLOW WARBLER, BLACK & WHITE WARBLER, SAVANNAH SPARROW and SWAMP SPARROW.
