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).
