I made a quick visit to Greene County yesterday hoping to find a flock of Bobolinks that had been reported. Along an isolated country road, bordered by alfalfa fields, I was able to locate about 25 of the yellow-capped birds. Photographing them was tricky. As I drove by, they would hop off of their perches in the longer grass down into the alfalfa. Even using a call did not bring them out as well as I had hoped. Exposure was also difficult….when one did decide to pose briefly, the harsh afternoon light obscured the detail in the blacks. Post-processing helped a bit, but I am looking forward to another session with them in better lighting situations.
