Bobolink: a tailfeather view


While observing several male Bobolink as they engaged in their territorial behavior, this guy flew onto a power line above me providing a rather different view. As is very clear in these photos, this Bobolink has fluffed up his tail feathers as part of his display. I was surprised at he very contrasting buff edging to it's feathers on it's underparts that give it almost a scalloped appearance. He is engaged in a singing bout with other males in the area.
