	Bobolink: Bird of the Month - Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center - National Zoo\| FONZ
		In a songbird hall of fame, the Bobolink would be noted for one of the longest migrations in the western hemisphere--a round trip of approximately 20,000 km (12,400 miles).
		Because Bobolinks have a strong tendency to return to areas where they have bred successfully or where they were reared, helpers may be offspring from the previous year of one or both of the other adults.
		The heyday for Bobolinks was probably toward the end of the nineteenth century when agriculture had spread far and wide and the prevalence of horses as a form of transportation required the maintenance of extensive hayfields.

	Effects of Management Practices on Grassland Birds: Bobolink
		In Nebraska, Bobolink abundance in CRP planted to cool-season grasses was significantly and positively correlated with percent litter cover and negatively correlated with vertical density of vegetation (measured using a Robel pole) (Delisle and Savidge 1997).
		In Nebraska, Bobolinks nested in wet prairie, alfalfa, upland native prairie, domestic hayland, and wheat (Faanes and Lingle 1995).
		In Illinois, a decline in Bobolink abundance was significantly correlated with declines in the number of hectares of alfalfa, oats, and pasture in the northern one-third of the state from 1952 to 1992 (Herkert 1997).

	BiRDZiLLA: Bobolink
		Bobolinks are, apparently, somewhat irregular in their appearance and never very abundant in Louisiana in spring, whence they migrate northward through the Mississippi Valley in moderate numbers; they are generally regarded as only fairly common, or even rare, in the southern half of this Valley.
		The evidence indicates that the male selects the general locality for the nesting, which he occupies until the female arrives and is persuaded to remain there; she, then, probably selects the exact spot in which the nest is to be placed and does all the simple construction.
		Food: As we know the pretty bobolink on its northern breeding grounds we can find little to complain of in its feeding habits, which are mainly beneficial to our interests, or at their worst only neutral, but when it becomes the "rice bird" in the Southern States the planters have a strong case against it.

	Bobolink Dolichonyx oryzivorus mortality from haycropping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		(Bobolinks are polygynous, i.e., one male mates with more than one female, while each female presumably mates with only one male.) I then noted the start of the hatch by observing a pattern of repeated male and female feeding trips and the carrying of fecal sacs and egg shells.
		Although the Bobolinks could be stubbornly inconspicuous, these July and August breeding areas had a changing mix of incubating and feeding birds, nestlings, fledglings, protective and tutoring parents, bachelor or refugee adults, and molting birds of all genders and ages.
		Of benefit to the Bobolink, it said that "[a] species of concern, or one which is not considered endangered but has experienced a reduction in population, should be given careful consideration to encourage its proliferation." Then, the LCC created a new five-acre cut-later sanctuary.

	Bobolink
		Bobolinks are small relatives of flbirds, meadowlarks and orioles that breed in scattered, small populations throughout the Southern Interior in moist hayfields in valley bottoms.
		Much of the Bobolink's habitat is privately owned, so landowners are encouraged to assist the continued survival of this bird by delaying hay-cutting until after the bird's nesting season.
		Bobolinks inhabit open country with a preference for large hayfields, moist meadows and weedy fields dominated by a mixture of tall grasses; birds will also use marshes and other open places in the autumn.

		The main objective of this project is to determine Bobolink distribution, habitat use, and foraging ecology in the winter, in order to assess potential threats to populations.
		Understanding the potential effects of land use and the reliance of Bobolinks on agricultural fields will be an important component of developing a conservation srategy that incroporates all phases of the their life cycle.

		Tout (1947) found bobolink in Lincoln County during 5 May to 27 September, and Rosche (1979) reported the earliest arrival in the lower North Platte River Valley as 6 May. National Geographic Society (1983) indicated that the Platte River system is at about the southern limit of this species breeding range in North America.
		Breeding Range: The bobolink is a locally abundant nesting species in the Platte River Valley west to North Platte, and in adjacent areas of the Eastern Plain and Dissected Plain physiographic regions west to the Lincoln-Dawson county lines (principally in alfalfa fields).

	Bobolink - Dolichonyx oryzivorus
		The State of New Jersey lists the Bobolink as "Threatened" [PDF] According to the Report issued by the State of New Jersey, historic clearing of forests in the eastern United States during the 1700s and 1800s enabled numerous grassland species to expand their ranges, inhabiting the growing agricultural landscape.
		As a result, the bobolink became a common breeding species in the hayfields and pastures of New Jersey.
		However, by the early 1900s, bobolink population declines were noted in the Northeast, continuing in the 1960s and 1970s, and the development of agricultural lands further shrunk bobolink populations in New Jersey.

		No ships were within a thousand yards of this point at the time, and it is believed by this command that a submerged enemy submarine brushed the left bank of the channel on its way to open sea after an attack in Pearl Harbor.
		The Bobolink immediately signaled two destroyers that were coming out of the channel to drop depth charges off the point, but the signal was apparently not seen.
