Count the Bobolinks and More!
Join Birding for Pleasure in Durham & Middlefield with the Hartford Audubon Society 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.
Date: Saturday June 13, 2026
Time: 9 AM – to about 11 AM
Location: Meet at Frederick White Farm open space, 70 Maple Ave, Durham, CT
Park on side of dirt road down the hill.
