Breakfast with Bobolinks!

What is a bobolink, you ask? It’s a  grassland songbird that travels to and from southern South America ever year.

Some species of birds dependent on grasslands for nesting cover and foraging areas  are threatened or endangered due to lack of suitable habitat. Where appropriate habitat does exist, grassland species can be locally abundant. Join SFLM volunteers for a morning walk across an upland property where open areas are now managed primarily for the benefit of these birds. We’ll talk about what’s happening there in that regard, walk about a mile to identify and record numerous species of birds and review notes on birds identified at the end of the morning over some breakfast type beverages and light food items.

Wear shoes for rough mown paths and some potentially muddy locations, a hat and other weather appropriate clothes. Sunscreen, insect repellent and binoculars are highly advised.

And while you’re waiting for this program, sign up for the May bird walk here to see different species of birds in our Townsend Grady Wildlife Preserve.
