Bobolink Signs installed at the McAllister Wildlife Refuge by GBLC volunteers!

Sept 9, 2004 - An industrious team of GBLC volunteers installed 3 Bobolink Signs at the McAllister Wildlife Refuge. Thanks to the design work of Ben Barrett, double locust posts were used to support these information signs located at key positions for observing Bobolinks when they are nesting (May - August).

GBLC board member, Brad Roblin, donated his time to share his special skills with leaders and kids from Multicultural Bridge. It all happened at the Lake Mansfield Beach Area and Trail System!

Hi Folks, 

Thanks to a collaborative educational program at the McAllister Wildlife Refuge - Twenty Folks know more about Bobolinks!!

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.
