Bobolink: what sharp tail feathers you have

Still the same Bobolink singing on the line above me. In this pis the very sharply pointed rectrices/tail feathers show up nicely.  Birds of North America online describes Bobolink: "Distinctive features in all plumages include rigid, sharply pointed rectrices and long hind toenails."  The long hind toenails show up better in the pics below.  SeEtta
