Lyme Bobolinks

[Blake Allison]

First of season on the home property, at least two chattering males heard but not seen. 

The incapacity of my riding mower has resulted in an unintended, full on "No Mow May" result. Sorry, no pictures unless you'd like to request one directly. I have ongoing, ever present, male red-winged blackbirds at the feeders daily (five+/-) and an occasional female but have not been able to confirm a nesting presence. Bobolinks have been visitors the last few years but do not stay. Still, am anxious about restarting mowing that could be disruptive when my machine returns. Likely, will make paths to key areas, vegetable and herb gardens.
