Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) | BIRDS & Nature

The sweet-voiced Bobolink undertakes an amazing migration, breeding in North America and traveling some 12,500 miles to winter in southern South America each year. The species' population has declined by 50% in the last 40 years, in part due to pesticide use. https://abcbirds.org/bird/bobolink/ | American Bird Conservancy
