Regionally there is much concern about declining numbers of Bobolinks, probably due to habitat loss as open fields and farms become housing developments.
This past year The Trustees of Reservations, via their art & landscape program, highlighted bobolinks and other grassland bird species, in a special art installation at Appleton Farms in Ipswich. The artist, Jean Shin, worked closely with deCordova staff and leveraged salvaged materials from deCordova’s recent roof work to decorate perches that bobolinks look for in their ideal ecosystems.
