SUMMARY:Birding for Pleasure: Count the Bobolinks and More! 
DESCRIPTION:Count the Bobolinks and More!  \nWednesday June 17\, 2026  \nTime: 9 AM – 11:30 AM  \nLocation: Frederick White Farm open space\,  \n70 Maple Ave\, Durham.  \nPark on side of dirt road down the hill. \nJoin Birding for Pleasure in Durham & Middlefield for a bird walk at Frederick White Farm – an important habitat for Bobolinks. The Bobolink is a migratory songbird who travels all the way from South America to nest in the grasses at this town-owned farm. During this walk we will observe and count the Bobolink and other grassland species as we explore the farm fields for hidden treasures. \nDeborah Evans will lead this walk and is an expert at finding birds. She is a member of the Connecticut Ornithological Society (COA) and Mattabeseck Audubon Society (MAS). She is an Area Captain for the Christmas Bird Count MAS team and a past MAS board member. The most notable bird found in her segment of the circle was a Long Eared Owl in 2024. She also participates in the Summer Bird Count and the Big Sit. She has been one of Connecticut’s top 100 Birders on the eBird App for the last three years. Her spark bird was the American Kestrel and often nests at White Farm. Deborah’s young grandchildren are excited to learn bird sounds and to find their own “spark bird”. \nRun completely by volunteers\, Birding for Pleasure’s goal is to engage communities in conversation\, restoration and enjoyment of nature focusing on grasslands birds\, other wildlife and their habitats.  \nYouth must be accompanied by parent or responsible adult. \n\nPlease bring your binoculars\, drinking water\, bug repellent and wear waterproof shoes or boots. The walk around the farm is mostly flat and may be muddy.\nNo dogs. \n\nVortex binoculars are available through a CVEF grant for check-out at the Durham and Middlefield Public Libraries during their regular business hours.  \nA few binoculars may be borrowed during our walk. \n**Reservations are suggested to help us with our planning at: https://durhamlibrary.libcal.com/event/16790372?hs=a  \nHeavy rain or lightening cancels.  \nBirding For Pleasure’s next walk is Saturday July 18\, 2026 at 8 a.m. led by Melissa Baston.
