Bobolink — size comparison — facts and sources
The bobolink breeds in North American meadows and grassy fields and winters in South America. Nests hide on the ground. Breeding-season mowing can destroy eggs or young, making grassland management important beyond habitat presence.
It gathers insects and seeds among grass and ashore. Non-breeding flocks migrate far between northern nests and southern feeding grounds.
