Some good news!

I received this email today:

Hello Jennifer,

I have to thank you again for contributing information to the distribution and presence of Bobolink and Western Meadowlark within Milton. We have included the information in our final report to the Ministry of Natural Resources for our Species at Risk Stewardship Fund. I've attached an excerpt of the data that was sent to the MNR using your google earth data and other submissions.

I'd encourage you to continue to report presence of this species and including additional information regarding number of pairs and highest level of breeding behaviour (see attached background sheets). By recording this higher level of information, it will better guide the Ministry of Natural Resources in determining highly significant Bobolink habitat.

If you haven't seen the FuellingChange initiative, please visit it below to help Conservation Halton raise funds for open country bird habitat at Glenorchy.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Many thanks,

Nigel Finney | Natural Heritage Ecologist, Conservation Projects
