Bobolink

This video celebrates the amazing song of the Bobolink, described by one author as "a mad, wreckless song fantasia—an outbreak of pentup irrepressible glee," and by another as "a bubbling delirium of ecstatic music that flows from the gifted throat of the bird like sparkling champagne."

The Bobolink is a member of the Blackbird family. It frequents grassy meadows of the northern states and adjacent Canada. Also referred to as "skunk blackbird," the male has striking black-and-white plumage, making identification easy. Females are a buffy yellow-brown.

I can certainly hear lots of blackbirds in the background.

(That white patch on his head looks like a bad toupee.)

I love the sounds these birds make. It almost sounds electronic or something. When there is a bunch of them singing together it sounds incredible! It sounds do me like quick and precise harmonizations.

The first time I saw a picture of a Bobolink, I fell in love with these little creatures. They don't reside in my neck of the woods, so it's one of my dreams to see them in the wild. So beautiful! Thanks for uploading this. The picture quality and sound are incredible!!
