Protocol: Traveling

1.913 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    BBC – Bobolinks at Farm Meadow, Lincoln – Leaders: Mathias Bitter and Kathy Dia – Pouring rain stopped right before the walk but it stayed cloudy and drizzly for most of the trip. Still a nice variety of birds, including the Bobolinks visiting a nest. A fox was also seen hopping through the field and some of us thought it could’ve been a Gray Fox.
