American Redstarts and Bobolinks are migrating through in big
numbers now. A big difference in how we experience the passage of these two
migrant species is that we see a lot of redstarts but only hear most of the
Bobolinks as they pass high overhead. Bobolinks are very long distant migrants,
flying some 12,000 miles to wintering grounds in southern South America.
They're also highflyers, migrating at altitudes in the range of 10,000-12,000
feet above the earth's surface; but even when we can't see them, we hear their
"bink" from high above us, one of the many sounds of the passing
season.
