How Bobolinks Benefit from Grass-fed Beef
Spring is marked by the songs of returning birds. Grandma always keeps a keen eye out for the robins in March.
While she watches for robins, we keep an eye out for bobolinks.
Bobolinks are charismatic looking birds with a black breast and white back, capped with a yellow head; almost like a backwards tuxedo.
The signature song of the bobolink is a long, bubbling, whimsical tune that lets us know that grazing season is here.
Bobolinks are a special concern species in Wisconsin and have had declining populations over the last few decades as monocrop fields replace their native habitat.
According to the Audubon Society, less than 40% of historic grasslands remain today.
"Fewer than 40 percent of the 550 million acres of historical grasslands that once stretched from Alberta to Mexico remain today."
