The 5 Bobolinks were sighted at Gravelly point; Slightly north of Reagan
National Airport.
Towards the left side as you enter the parking area, you will see a fenced
in grassy area
with orange posts scattered around. The Bobolinks would fly up briefly near
the river, usually when planes were taking off nearby. Once in a while they
would perch on the reeds like the Red-winged Blackbirds in
the same field, so look carefully at field marks. Scopes are usually better
here once they perch.
Needless to say, mornings are better because they hunker down more towards
noon or afternoon.
Also: Osprey 1
Song sparrow 3
Red-winged blackbirds
