A brief stop at the grasslands in Elkton Md. It was already quite hot at 7:30 in the morning, but the Bobolinks were nevertheless active. The males would fly about in small groups, usually singing their attractive song in Skylarkish "winging-it" style, while the females tended to stay more under cover. I glimpsed one with a big insect larva in her beak--doubtless a present for her brood.
