Ever since Leo retired in 2012 we've been going out to Missioner Road to look for bobolinks. Every June local birders report that the're nesting along the San Jose River near the Mission Ranch, but we've never found them.
Williams Lake is at the north end of their range and this is the only place they can be found near town.
Then last year Leo spotted one while out running. Finally a few weeks ago I heard a characteristic blackbird-like call, and sure enough it was a male bobolink.
Birder Kris Andrews was also out so we pointed her to its location and she got this great shot.
