The Bobolink is a small New
World blackbird with a short
finch-like bill. Bobolinks
forage on or near the ground
and mainly eat seeds and
insects. The male sings a
bright bubbly song in flight
which gave this species its
common name. The numbers
of these birds are declining
due to loss of habitat.
Originally, they were found in
tall grass prairie and other
open areas with dense grass.
