I found an indeterminate number of Bobolinks in the large field on the north
side of Rt. 788, Leeds Manor Rd., just off of Route 17 in Fauquier County this
morning. This is the same field where I have seen them before, and where I had
50 to 100 last year. I heard lots of Bobolink chatter coming from the grass,
but the wind was blowing very strongly when I was there so mostly they stayed
hidden. I did have two obliging males fly up and sit on the fence post down the
road from me. I intend to try again in two or three days. Hopefully there
will be less wind.
Earlier I checked Harrison Lane and Belvoir road and found no Bobolinks at
all.
