The jumbled tinkling of the Bobolink's song seems to come from every quarter of the wet meadow or grain-field where the bird nests. The male may be sitting on a weed stalk along the edge. Breeding male black, with back of head yellowish and much white on wings and lower back. Female shown in 6th image (left of male)..

Habitat:

Moist open fields, meadows, marshes, farmlands.
