BirdNote: Bobolinks and Grasslands

Male Bobolinks are first to arrive on their breeding grounds in the grasslands. Why are there fewer Bobolinks than in decades past?

Much of the land where they nested has come under intense cultivation. Grassland conservation can help Bobolinks! Learn more from this piece from  BirdNote.
