This spacious field is a favored walking spot for both people and dogs on leashes. However, during the late spring Bobolink nesting season, special care is taken to protect these ground-nesting birds, while still enjoying their bubbly songs and low ground flights.
I’m glad they have this protected place to nest. They are in serious decline. 🙁
I had the same thought. I hope they’ll have a good breeding season this year.
Yes, true with quite a umber of birds. Sigh….
Love their song. A friend of mine had them all around her home in the middle of a big field. Wonderful to see and hear them.
Hoping to photograph them this year!
It’s good that they are protecting the Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows. Thank you, Julie. 🙂
Do you have Savannah Sparrows? I was curious to see them listed with Bobolinks, as I have never seen one.
Now you see it! This shot is not new… I don’t think that they will return from migration just yet. There’s going to be another cold front this week I heard. Thank you, Julie. 🙂
Did you attach a pic of the sparrow? I’m not able to see it. ;-(
I have scheduled to posted on Tuesday January 31st. Just for you, Julie. 🙂
I’m pretty impressed that you have it scheduled so far in advance, H.J. I have “ideas” for the week that sometimes pan out, and sometimes don’t 😉
Image that I have to go outdoors in different locations, I wouldn’t have time to prepare my post, process the pictures and live my life. Now I’m totally retired, 6 months ago I had to work yet. You have to plan, your posts ahead of time and do not post until the day comes according to schedule. That’s how it works. Thank you , Julie. 🙂
So glad they are protected. 😊
Hoping to photograph them this spring!
Not sure I’d know a bobolink if it landed in front of me, but three cheers for people who protect them.
For sure!
