Nemesis Bird

Bobolink (c) 2013 HVI

I have been trying; without any success to get a Bobolink photo since 2007. Finally, on 6-9-2013 one sit still long enough for me to actually press the shutter button. This bird was on the White Grass cross country skiing property on Freeland Road in Tucker County. It was still too far away for a decent shot. But, as I have said before; a bad photo for the collection is much better than no photo.

Over the years, I have not had any problems with finding Bobolinks. The problem has been that they do not seem to want to pose for me. I just can't get them to sit on power-lines or roadside fence posts. Maybe my luck will change since the ice was finally broken.
