RE: [Maine-birds] Bobolinks Benton/Sebasticook River

The number of people mowing acres of lawn is astonishing - every time I drive by I think of how much great wildlife habitat goes to waste.

The other opportunity is to be aware of fields that are mowed mainly to keep them open rather than to get nutritious forage for farm animals. This would include some land trust preserves but also private lands in which the owner just wants to keep the land open and could mow later in the season. Airports are also places that can be encouraged to mow some of their field later since they are not mowing them to produce hay for animal food but just to keep them open.
