Bobolink

The Voice of the Bobolink The voice of the Bobolink is often described as ‘bubbly’. The significance of its prattle, though, is much deeper than that and double-edged in its message. Caught in this frame, a male Bobolink sounds off saying ‘Here I am!” to the ladies and at the same time is sternly warning ‘Steer clear of my domain!’ to would-be claim jumpers. ~ Anecdote and Bobolink capture, The Voice of the Bobolink © Jerry L.
