Part of our Bring Back Boblinks conservation series.

Bird walk from 8 – 10 am. Followed by optional sketching and nature journaling.

Learn about our special species of concern, the Bobolink, during a guided walk through their breeding habitat observing field marks, mating calls and nest building.

Then study and appreciate these beautiful birds during a fun nature journaling/sketching session. Beginners welcome!

Bring your journal, sketch pad, pencils, and stool for the journaling session. Some materials will be available if needed.

The location is Appleton Farm (TTOR) in Ipswich. The meeting place is the parking all the way in at the cluster of buildings in the back. Drive in the main entrance (219 County Rd, Ipswich). Once you enter, stay right and go all the way and all the way back to parking on the right side at the end of the road. This is paid parking ($6) if you aren’t a TTOR member. There is a free parking lot where Waldingfield Rd intersects with Rt 1A (County Rd) Here is a map link for the alternate parking: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DPjdK4k66ZZPvPWr7 and this is the map link for the paid parking (that is free only to TTOR members): https://maps.app.goo.gl/wnihcxEz8sxAta4WA). From the free parking, it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the meeting spot on an easy trail. Just look for the buildings and the parking near the smaller cluster of buildings (not the bigger buildings).

There are restrooms here.
