Bobolinks Have Returned!! Yeah!!

Yeah!! The Bobolinks have returned to "Bobolink Farm" our 23 acres NH property which we manage for nesting grassland species and may other birds as well. Had our first Bobolink this morning, singing a little, then resting and foraging. Probably tired from the long journey back (they winter in South America). We have had nesting bobolinks on our hayfield for almost 20 years. We make sure the farmer hays the field in later summer so as not to destroy the nests of the breeding Bobolinks. Many other migrants have been flooding in as well, more on that later. Right now, celebrate the Bobolinks!
