Re: [Maine-birds] Bobolinks

I think we have lost the bobolinks at the Stone Barn Farm on MDI due to early haying as well. We thought we saw a few birds earlier but nothing recently. I blame the ignorance of modern farmers on their disconnection with nature's life cycles.No meadowlark either. T

I beg the hay guy to wait until July 15th. I'm glad to hear there are more elsewhere. We've lost the Meadow Lark and the Whip-Poor-Will. Life's not the same.

I'm so glad. Enjoy them.
 They hayed early last year and my sense is we are missing a couple (dawn chorus is not as loud). But I don't have any real data. I'm worried they will hay early again this year.

They must all be here in Pittsfield - we have dozens of displaying males, when we normally have a fraction of that amount.
