This is the first year we have had Bobolinks in this smaller field. Bobolinks make nests in the grass and often are killed from mowing. I have been watching for mowing, which is done later in this field than the other fields. I went for a walk with my dog and discovered it was mowed. I scoured the field looking for them and they were okay. The parents were high on a tree with food in their beaks. The trees were in a protected area around a shallow well. Two young ones shown in 2 and 3 images - I shooed them toward thier parents and twas relieved to see they flew just fine.
