Jamestown Airport Birds

Posted on May 16, 2015

The boys are back in town! Bobolinks have taken over the grasslands around the Jamestown airport again and it makes me happy! Our plant and bird surveys are kicking into gear again – hoping for the return of Grasshopper and Henslow’s Sparrows soon. One of these birds was a nice surprise today – likely a late migrant, but perhaps the Northern Harrier will stick around and attempt to nest? Time will tell…
