On July 14th 2024, Twenty folks participated in the Guided Bobolink Walk at the McAllister Wildlife.
Members of the Hoffman Bird Club, John Felton and Greg Ward, helped us to see, hear and learn a lot about the life history of Bobolinks.
We also learned about the Kestrel nesting box installed by the Berkshire Bird Observatory and the ongoing banding and educational efforts of Ben Nickley.
Along with Bobolinks we saw a good number of other woodland, wetland and grassland bird species! See John Felton's Ebird list for the walk
Thanks so much to GBLC board member, Sharon Siter, and program participant, Buck Deggendorf for helping to capture birds and birders in excellent photos!
