flying overhead NW of the lake. Seen from the southern edge of the

they were almost never visible with the naked eye. While scanning
with binocs, I spotted the first bird overhead flying in from the west
soon after I arrived. This bird continued to circle overhead the
entire time I was there. A 2nd bird appeared to the NW and
disappeared over the trees to the north.

From Elaine Taylor:
06/17/09 - Bristol, Fields off Matthews Street and behind the Orchard
Hll development -- BOBOLINKS. I am surrounded by BOBOLINKS. Their
sound is clear and loud and I see breeding males everywhere. But what
is truly amazing is how close to the house they come. This past week
every night around 7:30pm several males come within 5 feet of my back
deck as they call and feed from the lawn. Our presence doesn't bother
them at all.
