Bobolink Update for September

This just arrived in my email! I hope the lands we have observed the Bobolinks in will now be protected. Stay tuned!


Hi Jennifer:

As you may be aware, the Bobolink is being designated as Threatened (as of today, I believe) and should be subject to the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. I know that some of the discussions with respect to the subwatershed study have included the need to provide for habitat for area sensitive species and Bobolink was noted in the subwatershed study as needing more study. We have just received the functional servicing reports and environmental management reports that are a follow up to the subwatershed study, which should give some direction as to how they will be looking at dealing with species of this nature.
