Anon, Our Dumb Animals: Magazine of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Boston), December 1942—
Then with the apple-blossoms, came the bobolinks making the meadows round us ripple with song. "Here we are," they seemed to announce over and over again, "here we are, here we are!” One pair liked us so well, they settled right down on our hill-top for the entire season, the male sitting close to the tower and in half-hour stretches on the telephone-wire perch, made our watch merry with his jubilant cadences. Somewhere beneath him in the weeds by the side of the fence, I knew his nest was hidden; but such an excellent camouflager is the bobolink that I never found it, though I often saw the female rise up seemingly from a certain spot.
