The Bobolink does travel some 12,500 miles to and from South America every year.
They are fairly common in the summer time.
Boboink means rice eating, as they eat rice and grams. They molt twice a year. The male grows feathers on wintering grounds they all have yellowish tips. Eventually the pale tips wear off to reveal his black and white breeding colors.
They are daylight foragers. On bright nights you may find some feeding at night. during migration.
