SUMMARY:Bring Back Boblinks: Bobolinks at Heard Farm\, Wayland (New!)
DESCRIPTION:New addition to our Bring Back Bobolinks conservation series. \nThis gem works its way into the rotations of many birders once discovered. It is managed for dog walking (no dogs on this walk please) and bobolinks\, which in a good year can number 100 or more. We will be using dirt trails and boardwalks. Trails can be muddy depending on recent weather. Decent luck should bring 30 to 50 species depending migration and whether all routes are accessible\, including a variety of warblers\, ducks\, waders and raptors. \nPull over if you can on Pelham Island Rd on the way to view the waders and ducks and maybe raptors in or near the pond on the left.

SUMMARY:Bring Back Bobolinks: Codman Estate Farm (Was Drumlin Farm)  (New!)
DESCRIPTION:This walk was planned for Drumlin Farm but more Bobolinks can be seen at this nearby location so we’ve moved the walk to Codman Farms. \nAdding to our Bobolink conservation series. \nJoin Ilija to observe and appreciate Bobolinks in breeding habitat! \nBobolinks are migratory grassland birds found across Massachusetts. The Bobolink is listed as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Massachusetts and faces global declines driven by habitat loss and early mowing practices that destroy nests\, making coordinated land management essential for its conservation. \nThe meeting point is at the back of Donelan’s Supermarket parking lot\, 145 Lincoln Rd.\, Lincoln. Please park towards the back of the grocery lot\, but not in the Park & Ride lot (back lot).
